slender. The head is of a light brown color, and is much 

 wider than any part of the body. Twenty-four hours after 

 starting to eat the larvae assumed a greenish, yellow color. 

 July the seventh my last larva died. I gave the larvae grass 

 from the salt marshes as well as grass from my garden in Mt. 

 Airy, and the larvae ate both, so the food plant had nothing to 

 do with their death. The species is double-brooded, the first 

 brood being at its height about the fifteenth of June, while the 

 second brood is at its height about the fifteenth of August. It 

 is strictly a maritime species, although, a specimen was cap- 

 tured in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, by Mr. Haimbach 

 some years ago. 



12. Pamphila bimacula. 



Eggs of this species were sent to me by Mr. H. E. Wilford, 

 of Batavia, New York. The egg is light green in color, and 

 finely reticulated; somewhat broader than high, with apex 

 slightly flattened. The eggs did not hatch. 



13. Pamphila pontiac. 



Two females of this species were secured on the fifth of 

 July, the eggs being deposited on July seventh. The egg is 

 entirely different from any other Pamphila egg that I have ever 

 seen, being rather flat, and half again as broad as high, and of a 

 light lemon color ; finely reticulated, and apex slightly flat- 

 tened. The eggs hatched on July the nineteenth. The larvae 

 when first hatched are of a light lemon color. Head dark 

 brown and finely reticulated. The first moult occurred on July 

 the twenty-eighth. Shortly after moulting the larvae assumed 

 a very light green color. Numerous dark brown, spine-like 

 hairs are scattered over the body. The head is now of a light 

 brown. The species appears to be single brooded in Eastern 

 Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey. I have never observed 

 the butterfly before the end of June or later than the middle 

 of July. 



14. Pamphila dion. 



Eggs of this species were sent to me by Mr. H. E. Wilford, 

 of Batavia, New York. I received the eggs on the eighth of
