larvae from Violacea eggs have reached chrysalis, and has totally 

 disappeared when Neglecta begins to come on the stage.

 day a fresh $ Pseudargiolus. On ist May 5 i ,and 3d May, re- 

 corded that the species was abundant. On 6th June, a Neglecta 

 (before mentioned) came from chrysalis from Violacea. On 9th 

 June, took several Neglecta, and recorded that no more Pseudar- 

 giolus were to be seen. 



1879, 1st to 6th May, was daily finding eggs and larvae of 

 Violacea ; 9th May, took i $ Pseudargiolus.

1882, April 6, took several fresh $, Violacea in a cluster on 

 the ground, and with them were two 6 Ps ciidargio his, e^rVxer by a 

 month nearly than I had ever seen them. 



The observations on the chrysalids and those on the appear- 

 ance of the butterflies in the field therefore agree, and together 

 show that Psejidargiolus of May cannot proceed /rom Violacea 

 butterflies of that year, but must come from hybernating chrysa- 

 lids. The later butterflies, Neglecta, which follow closely the 

 others, and begin their flight about June i, and are not in large 

 numbers, as a rule, must come from Violacea butterflies of the 

 same year. A small percentage of the chrysalids from Violacea 

 give butterflies at fifty and more days from the eggs laid in April, 

 which brings the emergence into June, and the result is Neglecta\ 

 while nearly all the chrysalids hybernate, as before said, to give 

 Violacea the next spring.
