Occasionally a bee nnds the entrance she has managed to squeeze through too narrow and slippery for an exit, and she perishes miserably. "A couple of weeks after finding the first bee," says Mr. William Trelease in the "American Naturalist," ** the spathes will be found swarming with the minute black flies that were sought in vain earlier in the season, and their number is attested not only by the hundreds of them which can be seen, but also by the many small but very fat spiders whose webs bar... the entrance to three- fourths of the spathes. During the present spring a few specimens of a small scavenger beetle have been captured within the spathes of this plant. . . . Finally, other and more attractive flowers opening, the bees appear to cease visiting those of this species, and countless small flies take their place, compensating for their small size by their great numbers." These, of course, are the benefactors the skunK cabbage catered to ages before the honey- bee reached our shores.
