SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES. 



other two Mr. Neumoegen retained. One of them, on 7th September, 1882, 

 gave imago, the other passed the second winter and then gave imago. So pro- 

 tracted a chrjsahs period is remarkable and extremely unusual in butterflies. 

 The caterpillar is very like that of Rutulus, green, with a pair of club-shaped 

 spots on fourth segment, after the pattern of Rutulus, and therefore unlike 

 Turniis. Mr. E. M. Dodge observed Daunus ovipositing at Boulder, Colorado, 

 1882. By confining a female in bag over a branch of wild plum-tree he ob- 

 tained many eggs, and forwarded them to me. Unfortunately they were lost in 

 the mail. 



CoLi.\s PiiiLODiCE. — The larval measurements in the text are given in the 

 last part of the stages 8 to 5. Taken at twenty-four hours from the several 

 moults, the length would be — 



Young larva 

 First moult 

 Second moult . 

 Third moult 

 Fourth moult . 

 Mature . 



.OG inch. 

 .12 inch. 

 .18 inch. 

 .3 inch. 



.52 to .56 inch. 

 1 to 1.1 inch. 



In general, the larval measurements in this Volume have been taken at from 

 twelve to twenty-four hours after the moult. 



Argynnis Meadii. — Tlie extensive collections made in Nevada by Mr. Mor- 

 rison render it highly probable that Ileadll is an extreme variety of A. Heva- 

 densis. On the Plate of Nevadensis, in vol. i., two species are figured, the male 

 being Nevadensis, the female Coronis, Behr, a species widely dispersed, flying 

 from southern California to Montana and British America, and subject to a good 

 deal of variation. 



Melit.ea Phaeton. — In addition to tlie plants named in the text, the larva 

 of this species is now known to feed on Mimulus ringens and Gerardia pedicu- 

 lata. 



Ap..iTURA Leilia. — The male only is figured, and at the time the Plate issued 

 the other sex was unknown. Subsequent collecting by Messrs. Doll and Morri- 

 son, iu Arizona, have made us familiar with the species in both sexes. 



Apatora Flora. — Under Cl/yton I described Flora as a possible variety of 

 that species. In 1880, I received young Uvvx of Flora from Dr. Wittfeld, In- 

 dian Kiver, Fla., who obtained eggs by confining females over branches of Celtis. 

 These I reared to imago. Since then I have several times had the species. It 

 IS undoubtedly distinct from C/i/ion. The preparatory stages are described by 

 me in the " Canadian Entomologist," vol. xiii., p. 82, 1881. 



Apatura Alicia. — Figured and described in vol. i. This species also I have
