instance of retarded development. It has been elsewhere shown, in a 

 similar case, that the undeveloped wings present resemblances to the 

 pupal condition. 



Telea polyphanui,z}o.fl.ava. — The colour of the female specimen is of a 

 rather bright ochrey yellow. The darker inner shading to the subterminal 

 band on primaries is wanting and this outer band itself is white. The 

 eye-spots are as usual and thus quite different from the Western form 

 ocjilea, Neura. In colour, Telea varies from roseate to olive ochre. I 

 have seen a second specimen of this yellow aberration in a private 

 collection. 



In the proceedings of the Am. Phil. Soc, Vol. xli.. No. 171, I have 

 illustrated an instance of the spinning of a silken attachment around the 

 stem of the enveloping leaf in the cocoon of Telea, reminding us of the 

 habit of Philosamia cyjithia, or, even perhaps of Anthercea mylitta. I 

 have since found three more examples of this hitherto unnoticed habit, 

 among a lot of cocoons of Telea, but the false stem in these instances does 

 not seem to have been fastened to the branch. It is difficult, however, 

 from collected material to be quite certain of the fact, and it would be in- 

 teresting if American collectors would observe closely the spinning 

 methods of Telea. The silken attachment looks like that of Callosamia 

 promethea, but entirely encloses the stem of the leaf.

 abundant and destructive species of the two." 



The 33rd Annual Report (1902) of the Society has been published, 

 and is sent by the Ontario Department of Agriculture to the members 

 whose subscriptions are paid up for the year 1903, and to those only. 

 Any subscriber who has not yet received a copy will understand the
