to anything for pupation but was lymg on the bottom of the dish. The 
moth emerged by detaching the brown layers from the mouth of the case 
at one place, leaving the empty pupa-case inside. 
On opening one of these cases carefully, fourteen larval skins were found 
in it, showing that the larva had undergone at least fourteen moults. The 
mode of moulting is peculiar ; the flat part of the head opens like a lid, remain- 
ing attached at only one place near the mouthparts, and the larval skin is 
slid off and shoved towards the tapering end of the larval case. 
The larval period is apparently prolonged, at least on occasion. From 
larvee collected on 19th May 1911, three moths emerged on 24th October 
1911, one more moth on 8th October 1912, two larve remained feeding on 18th 
April 1913 and one of these lived until 31st May 1913.
