OBSERVATIONS OF THE POLYPHEMUS LARVA 417 



visible, its w ngs, antennae, etc., and it had also become a beautiful 

 brown all over. The four follow ng days he was quite an ac; ve 

 fellow, every now and then twisting and squirming. At one 

 time he was watched for five minutes, seemingly trying to turn 

 over, but when he was jus: about successful, back he would roll. 

 Occasionally he would turn slightly on one side. 



Now he is lying quietly on his back, not responding to my 

 touch unless it is too annoying when he wiggles to show his resent- 

 ment. 



The cocoon is two inches in diameter and three fourths of an 

 inch deep. It is really a bed.
