this, either in Mass. or Vt., did I see an imago that could have been a 

 hibernator. 



2. A fresh °_ was taken at Randolph, July 4th, and another perfectly 

 fresh was seen the same day. This would be the first generation in 

 descent from the hibernator. On 20th July, a larva two thirds grown was 

 taken, raised to pupa, and sent to Mr. Edwards, Aug. 1st. On August 

 nth, 2 £ 1 $ , perfectly fresh, were taken, plainly of same generation as 

 was the larva of July 20 — the pupal period being then but 9 or 10 days. 

 These imagos were in the second generation from the hibernators. 



3. On 5th Aug., found a fresh egg at Amherst, where the season 

 would be a week or ten days in advance of Randolph ; on 17th and 18th 



Aug., two larvae, evidently by their size of the same generation as the egg 

 of 5U1. Continued to find larva? all through September, the last one on 

 30th, in all 34 larvae. 



4. From 30th Sept. to 15th Oct., butterflies from pupae bred from 

 said larvae emerge. And besides, many pupae were found in the fields, 

 and the imagos came from them. These butterflies were then the third 

 generation from the hibernators, and individuals were seen on the wing 

 into November. Giving the above facts in a table, thus : 



May 15th, hibernating female seen, Amherst.

I communicated these facts to Mr. Edwards as they were noticed. I 

 cannot see wherein the behavior of Archippus is different from that of
