In 1866, M. Camille Personnat published a very interesting 
* Sur le Ver a soie du Chéne et son introduction en Europe. Extrait du Magasin 
de Zoologie, 1855, No. VI. 
[For an account of experiments conducted in England by Dr. Wallace, which 
unfortunately were a complete failure as far as rearing the moth went, see an essay 
by that gentleman in “The Transactions of the Entomological Society of London,’’ 
3rd series, vol. v. pt. 5. Longmans and Co. The results of an experiment which 
give the greatest hopes of success, will be found in ‘The Entomologist’’ for 
October, 1867.—Ep. ]
