'i *— Ziiff '- opinion among entomologists upon the production of the pap or royal jelly which is fed to queens during both their larval and insect life, and to the workers in the early larval stages. Cheshire, after Schiemenz and Leuck- art, held that it is produced by a pair of salivary glands which exist in the worker bee and not in the queen and drone. Others hold the view that this pap is produced by the chyle stomach of the worker bees and is properly chyle food. Dr. Brunnich has tried feeding the nurse bees with honey col- ored with lamp black, and the larval pap produced by those bees was en- tirely devoid of any dark color. He deduces, from that, that the larval food is not a production of the chyle stomach. It was our intention to go to Mett- menstetten the same evening, to the home of Mr. Huber, who had invited us beforehand and had kindly accom- panied us on this Zug visit. We, there- fore, left the Brunnich home after bid- ding adieu to the Doctor and his pleas- ant family, with an invitation to visit us in America. In less than half an hour we were at Mettmenstetten, where we spent the following day. Mr. Huber, who is, as I said, a bee- keeper and a cutler, is also a practical farmer. He was intent upon showing us the curiosities of this part of Switz- erland, and announced to us that he would take us in his carriage to some grottoes 10 miles away. We were to start early in the morning. However, as they had but one horse and his son announced to me that they had just one more wagon load of hay to bring in, as the end of the hay harvest, I took it for granted that they must first haul in the hay. But the carriage was ready and at the door before we had finished our breakfast. I said: "What about your hay ?" " Oh, they have gone after it long ; " But I thought you had only one horse ?" "We don't haul hay with the horse; we hitch up the cow
