A French treatise of experimental observations on the silkworm (Bombyx mori) by Loiseleur-Deslongchamps, printed in Paris in 1839. It reports his experiments on egg hatching under cold and varying temperatures, on starving larvae, on feeding them substitutes for mulberry leaves, on moth emergence, mating, egg-laying and egg weight, and on silk thread length. It also covers varieties such as three-molt worms and pedicled cocoons, rearing in the open air, and a critical review of Chinese silk-rearing treatises as translated by Stanislas Julien. It includes tables of hatching and emergence data and one engraved plate of a silkworm on mulberry.
