XXXV. Some Account of the Kolísurra Silk-Worm of the Deccan
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 September 2009
Extract
In my late researches in that part of the Deccan lying between the sources and junction of the Bíma and Mota Mola rivers, I met with the cocoons of the silk-worm which is called Kolísurra by the Mahrattas. The insect is an object of interest to the manufacturer from the strength of the fibre in the silk it produces.
