In this case the male moth died a few days after being placed 

 in the cage, and the female made her escape, so that the figures 

 for the whole number of eggs are doubtless not so high as 

 they might be under other circumstances. 



I am indebted to Mr. August Busck for the determination 

 of the adult moths.
