  1. The exit led to another room.

    J. G. Wood found two oak galls fused together: plant growths where tiny wasps develop.

  2. One way out. One way deeper in.

    Wood inferred two routes: one through the outer wall, the other through the join into the neighbouring gall.

  3. The tunnel ended in another chamber.

    Wood found the dead wasp inside. He blamed exhaustion, but the specimen could not establish why it died.
