Egg-masses of the Vaporer Moths Wanted (Lep.). 



I am venturing to appeal for help in connection with some studies 

 in heredity I am making. I am studying the inheritance of the hair 

 pencils in the larvae of the Vaporer Moths and am very anxious to 

 get egg masses of the Vaporer Moths, Orgyia (Notolof>hus) vetuxtti 

 and O. bad ia found on the Pacific coast and also of any other Oryyia 

 found in the West. Furthermore, I want to study the gametogenesis, 

 especially the spermatogenesis, of these species and also the behavior 

 of the mitochondria. 



In return I shall be pleased to do all I can and I can assist in prac- 

 tically every group of animals or plants. J. W. H. HARRISON, 181
