CLOVER. 
the larvae (or little cocoons spun by the larvae within) may be found, 
and in these folds the change to pupae, and the perfect fly takes place. 
The maggots of the Glover-leaf Midge are somewhat smaller than 
those of the other, the specially American kind (the C. leguminicola ) ; 
also are more thickly marked with punctures. The little two-winged 
Clover-leaf Midges are also rather smaller than the other species, and 
may be generally described as of various shades of brown ; the abdomen 
reddish-brown, ringed with black; two wings showing prismatic colours, 
yellow at the base, and beset with brown hairs.* 
The Midges of these two kinds are almost precisely similar, excepting 
that the Leaf Midge, like its larva, is the smallest of the two kinds, 
and the antennas of the female have fewer joints, namely, 14 (or, 
according to Low, 14 to 15), instead of 16, as in the Seed Midge. 
As for some years back the orange Cecitlomyia maggots have been 
found at the roots of our Clover, it would be very desirable to investigate 
this matter further in summer.

The Millepedes, Julus Worms, or False Wireworms, have been so 
fully noticed before in these Reports, that I now only refer to them 
because enquiry was made relatively to what they might be doing in 
earth at Clover-roots. 
These Millepedes might be doing good, or harm, or both together, 
for they are considered to be quite general feeders ; that is, they live 
on animal or vegetable matter, alive or dead. They are recorded as
