course the larva has to let go In order to try to get air. It 
should he removed by pressure on either side of the opening. 
Natives often anesthetize the worms by putting on moist tobacco. 
The one that I showed you apparently came out 
some time during the afternoon and was lost since the place has 
healed and I have had no other indication of it. 
I am aoryy that we had a dry run so far as your 
pictures are concerned, but I will not promise to raise another 
one for you! 
The larvae left with you are in the second stage. 
Please let me know when you have taken your pictures so that I 
may send for them as they are to be preserved in our collections 
Sincerely, 
A, Wetmore, 
Secretary.
