Extract

Last season, while in the Catskill Mountains, I made some experiments in sugaring for moths, which may be interesting to collectors.

The sugaring mixture employed was “molasses sugar” and water, in the proportion of three or four pounds to the gallon; I could not perceive that other additions, such as alcohol or preserved fruit, &c., were of any advantage.
