(Fir-leaves.)

[in margin:] Not endemic plant

[in margin:] young worm about

Nov 12th 1880 Pots with worms from further end of K. Garden where no fir tree, I observed 2 or 3 days ago that apparently as many leaves had been dragged into mouth burrows by their tips, as by their bases. — To day (12th) in Pot IV, in one burrow 8 pairs were drawn in properly by bases & many scattered long outside. (These leaves had their tips cut off) — In second 5 had been drawn close to but not into mouth of burrow by their tips & one alone by base.

Pot IV. Nov 13, 2 drawn little way in by tips, 2 by bases.

(Pot III Nov 14 1 by base 1 by tips — IV do 1 by base)

(Nov. 15 III 2 by base

(- 16 III 2 by base, 1 by point — Pot V 1 base 1 points

(16 raw meat in all 3 Pots.)

17 Pot IV 2 by points & 1 by base

18 Pot III 3 with point & 1 by base —only just in mouth of burrow

19 IV 2 little way in mouth by Points

21 IV 2 little way in base — They merely pile them over burrow. V — by base & one by Point

Nov 22d Pot IV 2 by base 1 by Point

23 IV 1 by base 1 by Point

25 IV 1 by Point

N.B These observations cannot be fully trusted, as in Pot VI with worm from beneath fir-trees do not drag in leaves.
