First Period
From the hatching of first kind to end of last kind 発蛾 -
Period: to
The whole project
In the report of summarizing from first to 4th period, they said they finished all the project for this experiment. -
Evidence for temp. recording
Even though, there is no temperature recorded, there was an evidence that people knew about the temperature -
Evidence
There was an evidence of having temperature meter through out the first period -
Types of silkworms used in First period
第１号台湾種, 第２号廣東種, 第３号角又（4化種）, 第４号清国種, 第５号又昔, 第６号宝玉, 第７号又昔, 第８号青熟, 第９号均白, 第１０号小石丸, 第１１号青熟
Many of them were from Kagoshima. I think it is because the temperature and climates of Kagoshima is similar to that of Taiwan -

小石丸、角又（４化種）、廣東種 -
New way to approach in the experiment room
In third period, they used a new way to avoid silkworms from getting sick. They used two rooms and depending on the temperature and humidity, they swiched the rooms for silkworms -

角又 was also gonna be used, but it did not hatch for some reason -
About temp. recording
There was no temperature recorded after Jyozoku for third and fourth period -
Moved the experiment place
They could not use the place they were using from first to third period, so they relocated to a different place in 4th period -

About the Silkworm types
They were mostly donated by different prefectures from Japan
Nara, Saitama, Nagano, and lastly Nishigahara Silkworm research place -

Interesting comments
They said they used 12 types of silkworms during 1898 span, but to avoid messy table and confusion, they only recorded 7 of them and didn't record the 5 other kinds. Did not even list what types of silk worm they used. -
Period: to
Whole Project span in 1898
Dates are based on their temperature table -
Typed of silkworn used in second period
Unknown origin Yon-kasan from 5 May

New testing
In 1898, they tested on storing the cocoons of silkworms which they never mentioned in 1897.
They used 2 different ways and compared the result.
They also mentioned that they want to test it again next year, 1899.
