7. 1886, 31st July, received eggs of ZT^^^w//. Result, 28th to 30th 

 August, 3 males, 2 females, all Hagoiii. 



8. 1887, nth May, received eggs of Hagenii, the first brood of the 

 year. Result, 9th to 14th June, 22 butterflies, all Ilagenii, 15 males, 7 

 females. 



9. 1887, 24th June, received eggs of Hage/iii, the second brood of the 

 year. Result, July 16th to 22nd, 16 butterflies, 3 males, 13 females, all 

 Hagejiii. 



10. 1887, 5th July, received eggs oi Hagenii, the second brood of the 

 year. Result, July 27th to 29th, 18 butterflies, 17 being Ilagenii, 14 

 males, 3 females ; i Eurytheme, female. 



So that I have bred nine broods from eggs of Ilagenii and one from 

 eggs of Eurytheme, and the result has sometimes been unmixed, all the 

 imagos being of the form of the mother, at other times mixed, part Eury- 

 theme and part Ilagenii. There have been no examples which were 

 doubtful ; all were either distinctly one form or the other. None of the 

 first brood of any year {1884, 1885, 1887) g^^^ mixed results, all coming 

 out Hagenii, from eggs of same. . But of the second brood of the year 

 (eggs of Hagenii June, butterflies of July), the results were mixed. Of 

 the later broods (imagos out in Sept. and Oct.), the result was Hagenii 

 alone, but the examples in each of the late broods were too itw to make 

 the test satisfactory. 



Therefore this species Eurytheme, heretofore known to manifest itself 

 in three distinct forms, Ariadne, Keewaydiji and Eurytheme, now be- 

 comes four-formed, Hagenii ranking with the others. 



I have parted with none of these bred butterflies, and so am able to 

 have them all before me as I write ; and can state that : i. There is a 

 remarkable uniformity in the color of the males, and in the width of the 

 marginal borders. The color is lemon-yellow. Every one of the June 

 and J uly imagos has a broad border on each wing, and the outlines of 

 inner side of same are essentially alike. Nearly all these outlines may 

 be described as erose, and only two may be called dentated. As a rule, 

 the borders of hind wings are black, while those of fore wings are densely 

 dusted with yellow. Every male has an orange discal spot on hind wing. 

 Now all this is very unlike Philodice, in which species there is no end of 

 variety in color, in width of borders and their inner outline, and in the 

 color of discal spot.
