green from the food ; three white dots on each segment on tubercles i. 

 and ii., and a third not on a tubercle before ii., in line with it ; on thorax 

 the dots are on i. a, i. b, and a dot before. 



Stage IV. — As in the next stage, but without a dot before the 

 spiracle ; width of head 2.0 mm. 



Stage V. — Head testaceous green, small ; width 2.5 mm. Thorax 

 no longer thickened, but joint 12 sharply humped, descending perpen- 

 dicularly to the anal feet. Subtranslucent velvety green, frosted whitish 

 subventrally, dorsal vessel darker green. A moderately broad, diffuse, 

 rather faint white stigmatal line, faint at the ends. Tubercles i. and ii. 

 and a dot before ii. distinct, pale yellow, with dark green rims ; iv. to vi. 

 and a dot before spiracle white. Tubercle iv. is opposite the upper edge 

 of the spiracle, except on joint 12, where it is below the lower edge. 

 At the end of the stage the larva turned black, all the tubercles 

 and dots yellow, and spun a rather firm cocoon on a piece of bark. 

 Imago in thirty days. 



This larva apparently omitted the normal fourth stage. In the last 

 stage, also, the head is smaller than would be expected ; but the moth 

 that emerged was a rather small male. 



Food plant. — Cat briar ( Smilax rotiindifolia). 



CHLORIPPE CELTIS (BOISD.-LEC) CAPTURED ON MONT- 

 REAL ISLAND. 



BY CHARLES STEVENSON, MONTREAL. 



On the 2ist July, Mr. E. Denny, who often accompanies me on my 

 entomological rambles, brought me a cyanide bottle full of butterflies 

 which he had collected for amusement's sake. On looking at it I im- 

 mediately saw a specimen that was new to me, and was congratulating 

 myself on getting what I thought would be a new addition to the Satyrince 

 of my collection. My pleasure was increased, on consulting Dr. Hol- 

 land's " Butterfly Book," to find it was a Chlo-ippe celtis, Boisd.-Lec, ^ , 

 or Hackberry butterfly. (Plate XXIII. , fig. 4.) A species, he states, as 

 found generally from southern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, 

 to the Gulf of Mexico. I immediately called my friend's attention to the 

 specimen, and he remembered the particular place he had found it, 

 because he thought at the time it was something he had not seen in my 

 collection. So ever since we have watched the locality, but have not 

 been successful in obtaining another. It was caught in the Outreraont
