A like reflection is suggested by the work of the well known bag worm, or basket worm, Theridopterix ephemerseformis. (Fig. 319.) This is the caterpillar of a species of moth, sometimes known as the house Theridi- builder moth (Oiketici). The insects are also called Caneihorse, umand basket carriers, and the Germans call them Sacktriiger, or Worm bearer. The baskets of the above species are among the most familiar objects in this geographical district, and may be seen hanging in multitudes to the limbs of trees after the leaves have fallen in autumn. I have been greatly interested in studying the whole process by which these interesting objects are made, and have described it elsewhere.' • The part above the horizontal line on the left of the figure was made of pellets of clay in natural site; that below of material artificially supplied.
