At Nonquitt, Mass., 12 July, 1888, 

 we found on a poplar leaf, and almost 

 covering it, a close mat of tiny eggs of 

 the color and bloojji of Delaware 

 grapes. 30 July these hatched, giving 

 larvae of a grayish color, with black 

 heads, with stifi' hairs, which, when 

 the larvae were in motion, made them 

 look as if they had props on each seg-

 segment, and these were confluent on 

 the first segment, making a black collar. 

 Anal props were black. 



The larvae were very restless, and 

 ate only the pulp of the leaves. They 

 grew greenish in a day or two. 



8 August. They moulted. Head 

 black, body green, with a few scattered 

 hairs ; collar black as before. 



Fourth segment had a black dot on 

 the back, as had the anal segment. 



There were rows of black dots, la- 

 teral and sublateral, with black 

 "speckles" between. 



15 August. Second moult. Head 

 black. Body yellow with sparse white 

 hairs. On fourth and anal segments a 

 black wart. 



Dorsal and subdorsal longitudinal 

 black stripes meeting at the black anal 

 wart. A wider sublateral black stripe 

 made of confluent dots ; and a subven- 

 tral black stripe. On these two stripes 

 were black warts, one on each segment, 

 and from these warts arose the white
