The head and collar are brown, and but slightly reticulated. 

 The first moult occurred on October fourth ; twenty-four hours 

 after moulting- the larvae were of an oil green color, and 

 thickly covered with dark brown spots ; an almost indistinct 

 dorsal line is also present. My larvae now refused to eat, al- 

 though they remained alive until November first. The butter- 

 fly is single brooded in southern New Jersey. 



6. Pamphila otho. 



From a female confined on the fourth of July I secured 

 one egg on the sixth of July. The egg is yellowish white ; 

 apex slightly flattened, and is somewhat broader than high. 

 On July the fifteenth the egg hatched. The larva when first 

 hatched is of an opake white color, this color giving way to 

 that of an oil green after the larvae had been feeding for 

 twenty- four hours ; the larva is also covered with dark brown 

 spots, and short, dark colored, spine-like hairs. The head is 

 very finely reticulated, and of a blackish color. The first moult 

 occurred on July the twenty-fourth, but I notice no difference 

 in the appearance of the larva. On August the third the 

 larva moulted for the second time, but I notice no difference 

 except in the size. The third moult occurred on August the 

 sixteenth. The larva is now about a half inch in length, and 

 of a greenish brown color ; a distinct dorsal line is visible. 

 October fourth my only larva died. 



7. Pampbila mystic. 



On July the seventh I secured a few eggs of this butterfly 

 from Mr. H. E. Wilford, of Batavia, New York. The egg is 

 almost hemispherical in shape, and is covered with fine reticu- 

 lations ; the color of the egg is pale green. Larvae emerged 

 on the ninth of July, two days after I received them from Mr. 

 W. Shortly after emerging the larvae assume a light yellow 

 color. Head and collar are black and shiny, and covered with 

 very fine reticulations. The first moult occurred on July the 

 eighteenth. Twenty-four hours after moulting the larvae were 

 light green in color, and covered with numerous white spots. 

 Second moult occurred on July the twenty-sixth. The body is
