128 First Report on Economic Zoology. 
OTHER SHORT REPORTS SENT ON THE FOLLOWING SUBJECTS. 
Group F. 
The Death Watch ( Anobium domesticum ), which were reported as appearing in 
large numbers on the walls of a room that had been shut up for a year full 
of boxes, at Eastbourne. (Miss E. Branscombe.) 
The Clothes Moth ( Tineola biselliella ), also reported by the same observer, with a 
note that “ They do not fly about as ordinary moths, but sit on the walls and 
ceilings with folded wings, waiting for me to kill them. Sometimes I kill 
ten in a room, then find none for a day or two ; then eight or ten make their 
appearance in a room which is shut up and no window opened. I am 
thinking of shutting up the house, so it is important for me to know 
what to do.” ( Vide Report, p. 43.) 
Method of destroying insects (sp. (?) ) in Acacia wood. (T. Christy & Co., 
London.) Letter containing a note that “ they always submit drugs with 
weevils and insects in them to a process of baking.” We have therefore 
made arrangements for them to receive the whole of our parcel (of acacia 
wood) to treat it in the ordinary way.
