Extract

In the description of the Byron Bog (Judd, 1957a) it was pointed out that the pitcher-plant, Sarracenia purpurea L., is to be found in the Chamaedaphnetum calyculatae association in the bog. The period of blooming of this plant in 1956 was from June 13 to June 22(Judd, 1958). In that year rearings were made of larvae of the moth Exyra rolandiana on the flowers and leaves of the plant (Judd, 1957b). Also in 1956 a study of the inquilines and victimsto be found in the leaves of the plant was undertaken, based upon a series of daily collections of insects and other arthropods from the leaves. The present paper is a report on this project.
