VI. Additional notes on Bombyces collected in Chili by 

 Mr. Edmonds. By Arthur G. Butler, F.L.S., 

 F.Z.S., &c. 



[Bead March 1st, 1882.] 



It will be noticed that in my account of the Bombyces 

 collected in Chili by Mr. Edmonds, reference has been 

 made to descriptions of several larvae sent to me, but 

 which I could not find among the notes in my hands 

 [antea, pp. 18 and 20). 



In looking over supplementary notes upon the butter- 

 flies received from Mr. Edmonds, I was surprised to find 

 these descriptions ; they are written (in pencil for the 

 most part) upon letter jiaper, and had been placed with 

 various letters received and answered, which must be my 

 excuse for overlooking them, though it is, I admit, but a 

 lame one at best. 



As fresh material has been received from Chili since 

 the reading of my paper, and has come into my hands 

 within the last few days, I think the best thing to do is 

 to describe the new forms, giving at the same time the 

 notes on species already enumerated ; I much regret 

 that such a course should be necessary, but it seems 

 decidedly jireferable to omitting valuable information 

 which must prove useful to future collectors.
