humps, but still almost on the dorsal surface, is a series of 

 three minute warts, the first equidistant between the first and 

 second pair of humps, the second equidistant between the 

 second and third pair, and the third at a like distance behind 

 the third pair ; every part of the larva is clothed more or less 

 abundantly with hairs. Colour rich brown, with the ex- 

 cejition of the three dorsal warts, which are white. In this 

 state these larvae p;enerally hybernate, feeding again in the 

 ensuing spring, and then assuming a much more variegated 

 appearance : the dorsal surface, as far as and including the 

 first pair of humps, becomes orange-red ; the last pair of 

 humps is also orange at the tips; and there are orange mark- 

 ings on the sides of the 7th, 8th, 9th and lOlh segmeuts ; the 

 rest of the surface is shaded with rosy gray and brown, having 

 a whitish stripe on each side in front, and the lateral warts 

 also white. When full-fed it spins a slight net-like cocoon 

 on the under side of a leaf, and in this changes to an obese, 

 short, shining brown pupa, adorned with darker stripes and 

 spots. For a supply of the larvae of this species 1 am 

 indebted to Col. Stewart, who informed me that one spe- 

 cimen spun up and turned to a pupa during the month 

 of September, doubtless preparatory to passing the winter 

 in the pupa stale. The moth appears in July. — Edward

Description of the Larva of Carnpio(jramma hdineaia. — 

 Rests in a nearly straight position, but with the anterior ex- 

 Ireujity slightly raised: when annoyed the head is tucked in, 

 and bent under the anterior part of the body, and, if the an- 

 noyance continues, the ring or volute thus Ibrraed is tightened 

 and intensified, until the ventral claspers are lifted from the 

 leaf, and the larva, having assumed the form of a perfectly 

 compact ring, suspends itself by the anal claspers only. Head 

 slightly narrower than the body, prone, subrotund, having 

 several bristles scattered over its surface : body rather ob- 

 tuse, transversely deeply wrinkled, the skin forming very 

 conspicuous folds ; at the junction of the segments there is 

 also a manifest skinfold along the sides ; on every segment is 

 a transverse series of small warts, and every wart emits a 

 bristle. Colour of the head pale subdiaphanous apple-green, 

 reticulated with pale brown : body apple-green, inclining to 

 yellow-green on the back, variously mottled and reticulated
