July. The egg is of a light green color, and finely reticulated, 

 and is somewhat broader than high ; the apex is slightly flat- 

 tened. On July the sixteenth the larvae emerged from the 

 egg. The body of the larva twenty-four hours after hatching 

 is of a yellowish green, and is sparsely covered with yellowish 

 hairs. Head and collar shiny black. Larvae moulted for the 

 first time on July twenty-sixth. A few hours after moulting 

 the body of the larva became a light green. 



15. Pamphila aaronii. 



Brought home from Anglesea, New Jersey, on June the 

 twelfth, three females of this butterfly. The eggs were laid on 

 the thirteenth of June. The egg is slightly wider than high, 

 and of an opake white color, finely reticulated, and the apex 

 is slightly flattened. Eggs hatched on June twenty-sec- 

 ond. The larvae when first hatched have the body the same 

 color as the eggs, but twenty-four hours after starting to eat 

 the larvae were of a greenish drab color, otherwise I notice no 

 change in the appearance of the larvae. First moult occurred 

 on July the first ; twenty- four hours after moulting the larvae 

 assumed a beautiful, light green color ; all the legs are the same 

 color. This species is strictly a maritime one, being very com- 

 mon on the salt meadows of southern New Jersey. The spe- 

 cies is double-brooded, the first brood being at its height about 

 the fifteenth of June, and the second brood about the fifteenth 

 of August. It is often found in company with P. panoquin, 

 both species having the same habit, and both appearing on the 

 wing about the same time. The August brood of both these 

 species will outnumber the June brood by ten to one. 



16 Pamphila fusca. 



A female secured on August the seventeenth deposited eggs 

 the same day. The egg is shiny, pearl white, and not opake 

 white as is so often the case with the eggs of Pamphila. The 

 surface of the egg is very finely reticulated, and the apex of 

 egg is decidedly flattened. Eggs hatched on August the 

 twenty-seventh. The larvae when first hatched are of an 

 opake white color. Head and collar very light brown. This
