Abstract
I ONCE witnessed a somewhat similar feat to that mentioned by “F. N.” (p. 385). It was at a wayside inn in the Eifel. The tablecloth was covered with flies. The window was closed excepting one small corner at the top. A wasp entered, Came direct to the table, but instead of attacking some stewed fruit thereupon, instantly seized a fly, bore it off, and after whirling round with it, made straight for the small means of exit and vanished.
