now covered with numerous spine like hairs ; a dorsal line of 

 a greenish color is also in evidence. Third moult occurred on 

 August the seventh. The larvae are now about a half inch in 

 length, with the body of a dark brown color ; otherwise, same 

 as before. 



8. Pamphila cernes. 



Two females placed in the cage on May twenty-fourth de- 

 posited some thirty eggs on the twenty-fifth. The egg is al- 

 most round, of an opake white color, and finely reticulated. 

 The first larvae appeared on the eighth of June. The larvae 

 when first hatched are of the same color as the egg, but twenty- 

 four hours after feeding they assume a dark green color. The 

 head and collar are almost black, and but slightly punctuated. 

 First moult occurred on June seventeenth. Shortly after 

 moulting the larvae were of a yellowish green, and covered 

 with numerous brown spots. A dorsal line is plainly visible. 

 Second moult occurred on June the twenty-eighth, but I no- 

 tice no change in the larvae since first moult. The third moult 

 occurred July the sixth. With the exception that the larvae 

 are larger, and the dorsal line more distinct, I notice no 

 change since last moult. July sixteenth the fourth moult oc- 

 curred, but I notice no change in the appearance of the larvae 

 since the third moult. On July the twentieth a number of the 

 larvae entered the chrysalis state ; for the first two days the 

 chrysalis is of a greenish color, after which it changes to a drab 

 color. The first imago made its appearance July twenty- 

 eighth. Between July the twenty-eighth and August fifth some 

 twenty imagoes made their appearance. The species is double- 

 brooded in the vicinity of Philadelphia. 



9. Pamphila manataaqua. 



A female of this species was placed in the cage on June four- 

 teenth, and during the fifteenth she deposited a number of eggs. 

 The egg is somewhat broader than high, and is of a pea green 

 color ; distinctly marked with numerous punctuations, and the 

 apex is slightly flattened. I was successful in raising this spe- 

 cies, but aside from this description of the egg I cannot give the
