over feet and legs, three on 2, one on 3 to 6 ; two on 7 to 10, one on 11, 12, one 

 on front of 13, and three over the anal legs; feet and pro-legs green ; head con- 

 siderably broader than 2, obovoid, truncated, the top depressed, the vertices low, 

 conical, excavated at summit, and in the cavity a small tubercle and tapering hair 

 (Fig. b^) ; other tubercles arranged in cross rows, the upper row of two and 

 largest, the next of six, the next of four, and the lower row of two, those of the 

 second and third rows next suture without hairs ; other short hairs over man- 

 dibles ; the surface shallowly indented ; color light browu ; ocelli reddish-brown. 

 (Figs, b, b\) 



At three days from the egg, length .18 inch ; color pale green, showing three 

 whitish longitudinal lines, one near middle of dorsum, one on the verge of dor- 

 sum, one on middle of side. As the first moult approaches, the body becomes 

 broad as the head, vitreous-green, the white lines distinct. (Fig. h^.) Duration 

 of this stage about eight days. 



After first moult : length .26 inch ; slender, slightly thickest in middle seg- 

 ments ; the tails longer in proportion than at first stage, slender, sub-conical, 

 pink-tinted, rough with white pointed tubercles and short bristles ; on the trans- 

 verse ridges of all segments are fine, sharp, white tubercles, each with its short 

 white hair, or process ; color at first greenish-yellow (Fig. c), later changing to 

 pale green (Fig. c^) ; on middle of dorsum a dark green stripe free from tuber- 

 cles, on either edge of this a line of white tubercles ; another line of tubercles, 

 sub-dorsal, a third along base ; between the last two are two other fine white 

 lines, and one such between the dorsal and sub-dorsal ; feet and legs green ; head 

 a little broader than 2, obovoid, the sides more sloping, less rounded, than in 

 the first stage ; on each vertex a long, tapering process or horn, tuberculated, 

 brown-tipped, and marked in front by a reddish stripe which is extended down 

 the side of the face to the ocelli ; surface finely tuberculated ; color of face and 

 head yellow-green. (Fig. c^.) To next moult six to nine days. 



After second moult: length from .34 to .4 inch; same shape; color yellow- 

 green ; the same tuberculated lines ; head as before, but narrower and higher, 

 the horns longer and nearer together, striped as before, but the upper part pink ; 

 color of face pale green. (Figs, d to cP.) To next moult fourteen to eighteen 

 days. 



After third moult : length .55 inch ; shape and color, at first, as at preced- 

 ing stage ; but a few hours after the moult, in nearly all the examples, the 

 color changed to brown and buff; at twenty-four hours from the moult, length
