Synopsis
Excerpt from Knowledge, Vol. 17: An Illustrated Magazine of Science; Simply Worded Exactly Described; January to December 1894
Something like three weeks will have been consumed in the construction and peopling of the central channel, but before the end of that time the eggs first laid have hatched, and the little white footless maggots have begun to make their transverse burrows, side by side, though still not in actual communication, and yet so close as only to leave a very narrow wall between. These burrows are in the softest part of the bark, the cambium layer and adjacent soft tissues being devoured, though but very little impression is made on the wood beneath. When the tree is stripped, one can see that while the bark itself contains the greater part of each burrow, one side of each has slightly encroached on the wood, so that the bared trunk shows in feeble outline a pattern corresponding to the typograph which appears deeply cut in intaglio in the bark.
