Mr. Halsall exhibited some corks of wine bottles which 
bad been eaten by an insect, cansin^ much loss of win?, and 
some minute insects found in the boring of the cork. Much 
I doubt WHS expressed by entomologists present whether the 
insect thus found was the cause of the damage.

conversation, and an examination of the books and speci- 
mens on the table,
