paper - put this into a dish and cover about 1/8 to
1/4 of an inch deep with water, exposed to the
light they will crawl out of the mud and

I have been able in this way to get the small
difference which exists between Mr. [?'s] micrometer

I am now thoroughly satisfied that Iowa will

harvest. I have found so many species in my [?]
area that I am sure the whole state must be richer
