. My studio neighbors. Natural history. !IO MV STUDIO NEIGHBORS at length has become reconciled to his condition, and has determined to rationally fulfil the ideal of his environment, as he may perhaps have already done voluntarily before. The buzzing ceases, and our bee is now finding sweet solace for his in- carceration in the co- pious nectar which he finds secreted among the fringy hairs in the upper narrowed portion of the flower, as shown at Fig. iS A.
