Emily L. Morton. 



By H. H. NEWCOMB, Venice, California. 



(Plate VIII.) 



It was nearly twenty years ago that I first met Emily L. 

 Morton. I had become much interested in her work of hybri- 

 dizing the Saturniidae and accepted with great pleasure her 

 invitation to New Windsor on the Hudson, to see her collec- 

 tion and to hear her own account of her experiments. 



What a delightful visit that was, and what a wonderful col- 

 lection she had. Since then we have become well acquainted 

 and I am able to give a few of the more interesting events of 

 her life. 



Miss Morton was born at Rocklawn, New Windsor, New 

 York, on the 3rd of April, 1841, in the old mansion which was 

 built upon land that belonged to her mother's family for four 

 generations. She and her sister still live there, the sole sur- 

 vivors of the family. Her father was Edmund Morton, her 

 mother was Caroline M. Ellison, both of the city of New 

 York.
