100 
COCOONS, BUT NOT OF SILK. 
South Wales, and feeds upon the bark of a tree. 
It spins a cocoon in the shape of an egg, and 
varnishes the threads over with gum, that when 
it gets dry, hardens into a solid crust. The cocoon 
looks just like a fruit hanging from the tree, and 
has no doubt often been mistaken for one.
