a pair of rose-coloured rather hairy horns or papillae. On each 

 segment of the body was a transverse series of longish black 

 hairs. 



On the 19th of the same month, seventeen parasitic larvae 

 broke forth from my caterpillar. They were of a conical shape, 

 and resembled those which De Geer found upon the horse- 

 chesnut*, the head being truncated and the other end acute. 

 They were of a pale-green colour, and, like those of De Geer, 

 besmeared with a kind of varnish or gluten, by which they were 

 enabled to adhere to the lid of the box the caterpillar was in, 

 around the exuviae of which they arranged themselves. Pre- 

 viously to their becoming pupae they voided all their excrement 

 in the form of little oval pea-green grains, seven or eight in num- 

 ber, which remained fixed at a little distance from them. About 

 the 23rd they had assumed the pupa, which was of the angular 

 kind, and from green had changed to a ferruginous or reddish- 

 brown colour. On the first of August the fly appeared, when, 

 being suddenly called from home, I had not time to attend to it 

 further than to wrap up the box carefully in paper to prevent 

 their escape. On my return ten days afterwards I found, how- 

 ever, that four had contrived to get out ; for all the pupae, their 

 cases remaining fixed to the lid of the box, had produced flies, 

 and I could discover only thirteen, all of which were dead, 

 namely, twelve females and one male. I shall now describe my 

 little fly.
