In the spring of 1908, while Dr. Clinton was carrying on preliminary experiments "with the brown-tail fungus, he re- ceived from the Melrose laboratory specimens of Japanese gypsy larvse, shipped from Japan with other material, which had been killed ...by the attack of an Entomophihora, but owing to the fact that the caterpillars had been dead for some weeks, all attempts to make this fungus develop its spores were unsuc- cessful.
