glands, and persist as such through life, as with the Pieridi. The mature 

 caterpillars apparently always have a broad dorsal stripe and a broad stig- 

 matal stripe of lighter color than the rest of the body and there is great 

 disparity in size between the papillae supporting gland-outlets, which are 

 large, and those which are the base of the simple hairs ; the head is ex- 

 ceptioniiUy broad. 



The chrysalids are very slender, fusiform and curiously bent in the mid- 

 dle, with protruding wing cases, much like many of the Khodoceridi ; 

 and the angles of the body are rounded, but are remarkable for the usually 

 excessive length and slenderness of the frontal tubercle, and the general 

 resemblance of the two extremities of the body.

Buds do bloom at April's breath, 



Wind and insect loving flower. 

 When the year awakes from death 



These my sweet will take for dower. 

 She will c'linnt them, one by one, 



Daisy and anemone — 

 In the Spring-time new begun 



"Will she too remember me? 

 All my year is like the string 



Of my lady's rosary, 

 And my days the beads that bring 



Prayers upon the rosary; 

 If she wreathe her smiles with May, 

 Whirring snows like flow'rets play; 

 While, if August in her eyes, 

 Falling leaves seem butterflies.

On hasty wings thy youth is flown; 

 Thy sun is set, thy spring is gone — 

 We frolic while 'tis May.

Imago (56 : 7). Head not very large, clothed with scales, and, especially in front 

 of the antennae, with exceedingly long, forward projecting hairs, most abundant and 

 longest externally. Front excessively protuberant, the middle projecting far beyoud 

 the front of the eyes, the upper surface of the projection not only depressed but a 

 little hollo-wed, and with a slight longitudinal sulcation, extending nearly to the bot- 

 tom ; the upper portion projecting rather broadly between the antennae, where it is 

 broadly rounded transversely, and expands considerably behind them; portion below 

 the antennae of about equal breadth and height and a little broader than the eyes on a 

 front view; upper border slightly rounded oil'; lower edge very broadly and regularly 

 convex. Vertex depressed above to the same level as the upper part of the front, 

 tumid behind, in all parts surpassing the summit of the eyes, the outer front angles 

 scarcely gibbous and projecting fonvard but little; excepting at these angles the front 

 border is scarcely convex, sharply defined, scarcely raised above the front. Eyes not 

 large, very little full, naked. Antennae inserted in distinct, rather deep pits, open 

 toward the eyes, separated by the diameter of the second antennal joint; shorter than 

 the abdomen, consisting of about thirty joints, of which nine form an ovate, de- 

 pressed club, more than three times as broad as the stalk, and about three times as
