can satisfactorily pick out Our pio ture is copied from one of the publications of the Massachusetts board of agriculture which gives' also this description of the winter nest: “Each web is composed of a tenacious silk hibernaculum inclosing leaves from which the epidermis has been consumed although the outer leaves on the web may not have been attacked The webs are firmly attached to the twigs by stout bands of silk Almost invariably the web commences where the egg cluster was deposited and remains of it can usually be found “on or in each web Exit holes sometimes remain open on the webs throughout the winter but as a rule they are closed by the matting together of the web under the influence of rain The web consists internally of numerous layersof silk inclosing a fftular great many
