404 Account of an easy method of destroying Caterpillars, fyc. 



wards, a second hatch appeared upon some of the Bushes,when 

 I again used the quick lime with the same effect. What be- 

 came of the Caterpillars I do not know ; I saw a good many 

 alive upon the ground, under some of the Bushes the day after 

 they had dropped off, hut I suppose they all perished, for 

 not a single one has been seen in the garden this year, though 

 in every preceding year they gave me a great deal of trouble. 



I am Sir, 

 your very obedient Servant, 



Richard Williams, 



Downton, near Ludlow. 

 May 2m, 1828.
