on June the ninth, or twenty-two days after they had been laid. 

 When first hatched the larvae are of an opake white, but 

 twenty-four hours after starting to feed they were of a dark 

 green color, with the body sparsely covered with long, light 

 grayish hairs. The head and collar are nearly black, and shiny. 

 Feet and prolegs of an opake white color. The first moult 

 occurred on June the nineteenth. Shortly after moulting the 

 larvae assumed a clear green color, otherwise I see no change. 

 The second moult occurred on June twenty-eighth. The body 

 is now of an oil green color, otherwise can notice no change 

 since last moult. Third moult occurred July the ninth, but I 

 notice no change in the appearance of the larvae. Fourth 

 moult occurred July the eighteenth. The larvae are now of a 

 very dark green color, almost approaching a brown. Fifth 

 moult occurred on July the thirty-first. The larvae are now of 

 a dark brown color, and covered with numerous brown spots 

 of a darker color than the body; a distinct narrow dorsal line 

 of a greenish color is also noticed. August eleventh. The 

 larvae are now about full grown, and are about one and an 

 eighth inches in length when body is extended. August twelfth. 

 First of the larvae changed to chrysalis to-day. The chrysalis 

 is. about three-quarters of an inch in length, at first of a light 

 green color which two days afterwards gives way to a drab 

 color. I kept the chrysalids under my eye until the first of 

 October, when no imagoes having emerged, I placed the cage 

 containing the chrysalids in a cool, -dry part of the cellar. I 

 removed the cage from the cellar about the first of May of 

 the following year. Three specimens emerged between the 

 seventh and the eleventh of May. I believe the species is single 

 brooded in southern New Jersey.

Secured several females of this species at Atco, N. J., on 

 September the third, fertile eggs were laid on the fifth of Sep- 

 tember. The egg is half again as broad as high : of an opake 

 white color, and very finely punctuated. Eggs hatched on the 

 sixteenth of September. The larva when first hatched is of 

 an opake white color, and sparsely covered with long hairs.
