1926 ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. 



296. Hybrids. B. arthechippus. Dr. Hageti assures me that Edwards's description 

 and mine were based upon the same individual. 

 315, line 6, for erect on, read on erect. 



326, lines 43, 44, the quotation should end with the word numerous. 



327. Oviposition. Mr. Edwards tells me that Mrs. Peart observed one case in 

 which the final egg of a chain had eleven ribs, when all the others had nine. Could a 

 second female have possibly placed an egg upon a chain laid by another!? 



338, line 5. Mr. Edwards assures me that there is no doubt that the specimen came 

 from McKenzie River. 



Food plants. Mr. Edwards has seen a female lay an egg on a gooseberry bush, 

 and oljtained the egg. 



377, line 16. For Doxocopa, read Chlorippe. 



Last lines. For further notes on butterflies at sea, see Entom., xxi: 161-162, 

 June, 1888. 



379, Eugonia j-album. Add to the synonymy : Eugonia j-album Scudd. , Foss. 

 butt., 43, 44, pi. 1, fig. 4 (1875). 



392, line 32, and 394, lines 6, 12, /oj- Inachis, read Hamadryas. 



394. Euvanessa antiopa. For further brief notes on the sound produced by this 

 butterfly, see Insect life, i :221. 



403. Food plants. Grove (Journ. N. Y. micr. soc, Oct. 1887) says he has found 

 the caterpillar on the ailanthus tree, the castor bean and geranium ! but his descrip- 

 tion of a colony ou a castor bean leaf makes one think he has mistaken some other 

 caterpillar for that of E. antiopa. 



406. Life history. Antiopa is reported by Jenner Weir as having been seen in 

 fligiit on a warm December day by Haydon at Moose Factory, Hudson Bay! (Entom., 

 XV : 115). 



407. Hibernation. Grove found a colony of "at least flfty" under a foot bridge 

 over a small creek in December, hanging by their feet; when breathed upon they 

 showed signs of life. 



410, line 27, /or Inachis, read Hamadryas. 



419, lines 11, 18, /or Inachis read Hamadryas. 



437, line 21, /or Inachis read Hamadryas. 



441, in the synonymy, /or Papilo amiralis, read Papilio amiralis. 



455. Parasites. Pteromalus puparum is to be added to the list that attack Va- 

 nessa atalanta in this country, and from the chrysalids of Eulophus referred to were 

 only reared a secondary parasite, Cirrospilus niger. To the European parasites should 

 be added Pimpla flavicans Fabr., according to Rondani. 



476, line 22, /or formed, read found. 



477. Aberrations. Another instance of Vanessa cardui elymi, the fore wings 

 very like the specimen in the Harris collection, but the hind wings also suffused, is 

 described and figured by Clark^(Entom., xiii:73-74). 



479, last paragraph. De Nicfiviile writes pie that V. cardui is by no means confined 

 to the mountains, but is to be found almost everywhere iu India, though very rare in 

 -Calcutta. 



481. Pood plants. Riley writes that "a correspondent, Mr. J. G. Barlow of 

 Cadet, Mo., has found larvae of cardui feeding abundantly upon Malva sylvestris," and 

 he adds : " A species of what I believe is a Malva, though I have not had it determined, 

 is a common food plant of the species along the New Jersey Coast, and it feeds here in 

 Washington ou Chrysanthemum and Helianthus." 



486. Enemies. To the European parasites, must be added, on Rondani's authority. 

 Ichneumon castigator Fabr. 



492, line 26, /or H. charitonia, read A. charithonia. 



493, line 21, for it takes, read they take. 



496, line 13 from bottom should end in a colon, "this" having the sense of "the 

 following."
