12pp extract, printed in double columns, illustrated with 15 engravings, salvaged from a damaged issue of Harper's Monthly, Volume XXXVII, No. 220, September, 1868. From the opening paragraph, "Some reader of this magazine, interested in but knowing little of the manner and customs of insects, may in the course of an early Spring ramble see hanging upon the twigs of a sassafras, wild cherry, or azalea tree some oval or fusiform objects of a light brown color, which on closer examination prove to consist externally of one or two leaves rolled up lengthwise so as to form the outer layer of a strong silken cocoon, the fibers of which continue up around the stem and spread out over the twig, binding the two firmly together, and resisting any ordinary effort to separate them. There are half a dozen such cocoons, and you begin your natural history studies for the year by cutting off the twigs and sitting down on a bank to look at them." In plastic report cover.
