other early stages, as I have lost my notes. A number of the 

 butterflies emerged from the chrysalis state from August the 

 twenty-eighth to September the first. The species is double- 

 brooded in the vicinity of Philadelphia. 



10. Pamphila verna. 



From a female caged on June twenty-ninth, I secured a 

 number of eggs on July first. The egg is of a light green color ; 

 slightly wider than high ; finely punctuated, and apex flat- 

 tened. The larvae hatched on July the thirteenth ; when first 

 hatched they are of an opake white, but twenty-four hours 

 after feeding the larvae were of an oil green color ; the body is 

 marked with numerous brown spots. Head and collar almost 

 black, with slight punctuations. First moult occurred on July 

 the twenty-second. The larvae are now of a lighter green, 

 with numerous black spine-like hairs scattered over the body ; 

 a faint greenish dorsal line is present. Second moult occurred 

 on August second; twenty-four hours after moulting the larvae 

 showed a heavy, greenish dorsal line, as well as a sub-dorsal 

 line on each side of the body ; the body is also covered with 

 numerous white spots. August eleventh, the larvae moulted 

 for the third time. Twenty-four hours after moulting the 

 larvae assumed a lighter shade of green, otherwise I see no 

 difference since last moult. Fourth moult occurred on August 

 twenty-second. I notice no change since last moult. A fifth 

 moult occurred on September fourth. The only change noticed 

 since last moult is in the color of the body, which is now of a 

 yellowish green. After carrying this insect successfully 

 through its five moults, I lost them by a windstorm which blew 

 my cage over, thus allowing the larvae to escape. 



n. Pamphila panoquin. 



Secured three female specimens of this butterfly at Anglesea, 

 New Jersey, on June eighteenth ; from these females I secured 

 some twenty fertile eggs on the nineteenth. The egg is of a 

 pea green color, and is about as high as broad, with very fine 

 reticulations. June twenty-seventh the eggs hatched. When 

 first hatched the larvae are of an opake white color, and rather
