3091. Larva of a sphinx. The ichneumon fly had laid its eggs beneath the surface : these had hatched ; the young larvae had lived upon the fat of the larva of the sphinx, avoiding the vital parts ; and, finally, they have come out and spun their cocoons upon the surface of the larva ; the health of this last, so far as appears, being sufficiently good. Sev- eral of the cocoons have been detached since the specimen was preserved. 1857. Dr. J. B. S. Jackson.

Mr. Chas. J. Sprague, the botanist, says that this kind of fungus is found in several species of caterpillar, and in some in this vicinity. 1861. Dr. Wm. B. Gibson.
