hair at the extremity. The bristle beyond them was flesh-coloured, 

 and very pointed at the end. Between these the face was a light 

 warm grey, while below this were found the dark jaws with their 

 fringe of brown seta-. The lateral semicircle of ocellated spots on 

 the cheeks was strongly defined, and the spots themselves were very 

 eye-like, possessing a brilliant white centre, with a cloudy prismatic 

 spot in the middle surrounded with a jet-black ring. The ground 

 colour of the body was a warm fawn, and the dorsal surface marked 

 with a symmetrical design of a complex character, which could only 

 be adequately represented by a drawing showing it magnified to 

 scale. The thoracic segments had each a light diamond-shaped 

 blotch, dorsally, with their anterior and posterior facets bordered near 

 the edge by suffused dark V-shaped lines. Through these ran a very 

 inconspicuous thin grey dorsal line, which was continued in a delicate 

 manner tbe whole length of the larva, but visible alone where the 

 ground colour was light enough in tone to afford it relief. On each 

 of these thoracic segments was a pair of small dark brown dorsal 

 warts, one on each side of the dorsal line. The warts on the pro- 

 thoracic segment were nearly as distinct as those on the other two. 

 Immediately on the anterior edge of the prothoracic segment was the 

 commencement, by a bright light dot, of a thin light subdorsal line, 

 which continued in a broken manner to the anal segment. Just 

 below this line, on the segmental skinfold, was a dark wart between 

 each of these thoracic segments. These were set in a short, cloudy 

 dark line. Close behind the dark dorsal warts on the metathoracic 

 segment commenced a rich brown-coloured marking in the shape of 

 an elongated lyre, and which extended for the the whole length of the 

 1st abdominal segment on its dorsal surface. Continued from this, 

 the dark lines edging the form opened out to form a figure 8 design, 

 which rested against the dark projecting dorsal ridge on the 2nd 

 abdominal segment. Laterally, this dark ridge bulged in a fleshy 

 manner around its spiracle, just forwai'd from the light vertical mark 

 which was found on the side of the ridge. This figure 8 contained in its 

 posterior loop the two dark dorsal warts which belonged to the segment, 

 and which had a dark line running from them backAvards and outwards 

 to the base of the figure 8. The next segment, and those back- 

 wards to the 7th abdominal, carried an hour-glass shaped marking, 

 which contained in each case the two dark subdorsal warts in 

 the lower lobe of the design, and which had a dark line from 

 them, forming a border, slightly removed from the edge of 

 the marking. This 3rd abdominal segment possessed a sharply- 

 pointed lateral protuberance on each side of a dark brown colour, 

 which was set in a dark cloudy marking that contained the spiracle. 

 On the 5th abdominal segment the -dark dorsal projection was bifid on 

 the crown, and very boldly marked against the ground colour of the 

 back, which hereabouts was of a greenish tinge. The next two seg- 

 ments each possessed two pairs of the subdorsal warts, and the dark 

 protuberance on the dorsal surface of H was now consisting of two 

 distinct pointed humps. Behind these were two deep transverse skin- 

 folds, each carrying a pair of the dorsal warts, followed by another 

 pair on the scalloped anal flaps. This, and the pointed posterior 

 projections below it, still bore the stiff bristly appendages, set back- 

 wards. Below these dorsal decorations ran the light, broken, sub-
