noticed a Saturniid caterpillar with black intersegmental bands and 
long branched spines, a species of Auwtomeris, some of the black bands 
of which appeared to be swollen. To his amazement these swellings, 
when touched, quickly slid over the back of the caterpiltar to the 
other side with the hurried motion of a Pyralid larva, and indeed 
turned out to be small lepidopterous larvee as black and glossy as 
the bands of the Automeris caterpillar.—The following papers were 
read :—* Revision of the Mexican and Central American Malachiide
