G. Marine gasteropods are usually attracted to crab-pots containing stale fish. Devise an experiment to test this sense. Observe how the animal protects itself when unduly alarmed excess of a slimy substance is excreted all over the body. Drawings of the snail in different positions should be attempted. CHAPTER XII. SOME SUGGESTIONS FOE THE STUDY OF INSECTS. CATERPILLARS. THE rearing of caterpillars in school forms a profitable part of Nature Study work. Their feeding and other habits will beco...me familiar to the pupils by direct obser- vation, and with the senior pupils simple experiments may be devised to show the effect of differences in diet and surroundings. Drawings should be made freely, and the opportunity should be taken of making clear to the pupils all important noticeable features in the caterpillars them- selves and in their behaviour. A common hardy caterpillar available in the spring and summer is that of the Magpie Moth (Abraxas grossu- lariata). In a fruit garden harbouring these insects they will be found as soon as the foliage of the gooseberries or currants is unfolded.
