364 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



10th, 1916, one male; October 16th, 1916, one female; July 19th, 



1917, one female; September 20th, 1917, one male; April 25th, 



1918, one female; May 2nd, 1918, one male. 



Two cocoons gave large wasp-like hymenopters, five contain 

 dead chrysalids, three are doubtful, and six pupae are still alive 

 and will doubtless give imagos in the autumn, next spring and 

 perhaps later. 



Miss Boyes, as well as Miss Pattie Hutchinson, of Beeville, 

 Texas, inform me they have had similar experiences with jorulla 

 cocoons. 



This coming autumn these cocoons will be four years old. 

 Think of a macro-moth 4 years as a chrysalis ! 



I have had pupae oi Automeris io produce imagos on the second 

 summer, of Callosamia promethea to do the same, and occasionally 

 a few to live into the second winter, but have known only one 

 butterfly to live two years as chrysalis, Anthocharis genutia. 



Little danger of such insects becoming extinct, but four years 

 between meals is a long time to go hungry. 



ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF ONTARIO. 

 Notice of Postponement of Meeting. 



Owing to the epidemic of influenza it has been thought wise 

 to postpone the annual meeting of the Society, and to hold it on 

 Wednesday and Thursday, the 4th and 5th of December, instead 

 of the 6th and 7th of November. 



The place of meeting will be, as previously announced, the 

 Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph. 



It is expected that accommodation for all members can be 

 secured in the residence at the College. Members who propose 

 being present will kindly notify the secretary in advance, and also 

 send as soon as possible the titles of their papers. 



The Plant pathologists will meet on the Friday immediately 

 following the Entomological Society meeting.
