SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES. 



Papilio Zolicaon. — In 1883, I raised many larvte from eggs sent me by 

 Mr. W. G. Wright, of San Bernardino, California, and obtained descriptions, as 

 well as a series of drawings, of all the larval stages. It was my intention 

 to give an additional Plate illustrating these stages and the corresponding- 

 ones of Asterias and Machaon ; but circumstances have compelled me to post- 

 pone the Plate. If I go on with a third Volume this species M'ill receive early 

 attention. 



In the text to Zolicaon I said : " ZoUcaon belongs to the 3fachaoii group." 

 Further examination of the imago shows that the two species are not members 

 of the same group, and this is sustained by the comparison of the larval stages. 

 ZoUcaon is nearer Asterias. So far as concerns the butterflies I have treated 

 of these species and their relationship at length in " Papilio," vol. iii., p. 45, et scq, 

 1883. 



Papilio Oregonia. — In the descriptive text I said : " The anal spot small, 

 . . . wit/i a rounded black spot in the middle, and which is connected with the 

 narrow black edge of the margin." It should properly have read, " with a strijje 

 or cluh-shcqjed sjwt in the middle," etc. In the paper above referred to, in " Pa- 

 pilio," vol. iii., the peculiarities of the anal spots in Oregonia, Machaon, ZoUcaon, 

 and Asterias are illustrated by figures, and in the text the relationship of all 

 these and other allied species is considered. As regards Oregonia, I come to 

 this conclusion : "■ Oregonia belongs to the Macliaon group, and (perhaps with 

 some other species) forms a sub-group of equal rank at least with the sub-group 

 to which the species Machaon belongs. It certainly cannot have been derived 

 from the species Machaon'' I have a colored drawing of the mature larva of 

 Oregonia, made by Mr. R. H. Stretch, and there is very little resemblance be- 

 tween it and the mature larva of Machaon. 



Papilio Dauxus. — Mr. B. Neumoegen received, in 1881, two blown skins of 

 the mature larva of this species and three living chrysalids. One of the latter 

 was given me, and after a drawing was made of it I put it in alcohol. The
