COPROPHAaOUS LAMELLTCORNS. 289 



41 are of the light fulvous form (27 males and 14 females), and 

 159 of the dark form (78 males and 81 females). The first imago 

 emerged on June 30th, a male of the light form ; the last emerged 

 August 2nd, a male of the dark form. 



As regards the two forms of this butterfly, I am able to con- 

 firm Mr. Harcourt Bath's remarks (Entom. 242), " that the dark 

 form is the type of the first brood." Such is undoubtedly the 

 case, as will be seen from the above, that out of the 200 speci- 

 mens 159 are of the dark form, the remaining 41 being of the 

 pale fulvous form, the proportion being about one to live. With 

 few exceptions, the light forms were the first to emerge, the 

 majority of them emerging during the first few days of July, and 

 before any of the dark forms made their appearance. 



It seems remarkable that two such very different forms 

 occurring in both sexes should be the oft"spring of the same 

 parent, and the light form to be the first to emerge. The pale 

 or fulvous form is generally larger (my largest female measuring 

 25- in, in expanse, and is palest in colour), and always very much 

 less angulated in outline.
