The story was seriously placed on record that the bites of the ants caused the basal swelling, and also the formation of galleries in which the insects subsequently took up their abode ; fail- ing these attentions, it was declared that the vegetable invariably died. This has of recent years been entirely disproved, for it has been shown that specimens of Myrmecodia may be e...asily raised from seed and grown to a perfect development, even if ants are entirely excluded. The Yucca plants are natives of America, and when the specimens are in flower a little moth, known as Pronuba yuccasella, may be seen flying round the blossoms. The females of the species spend most of their time in the blooms, where they make arrangements for a novel form of egg- laying. The moth starts with the rolling together '*. ' THE YUCCA.
