[[blue line down left margin]] Although we have used carbon bisulphide freely on the specimens, & exercised great care in sealing the boxes, it is scarcely possibly that all the eggs have been killed, and if the collection is not mounted where it can be watched, I fear great injury will result.  We may regard this is one of the most complete collections of wool to be found - yet not a single specimen is on exhibition, and there is no place now available to display even a small portion of it.
