Notes in 1887 upon lepidopterous larva, dc. 581 
those of the larva last described. There was a faint sub- 
spiracular cloud, corresponding to that which was more 
distinct in other larve (figs. 11, 12, 13). There was a 
tendency in this and all the other larve, towards the 
fusion of the posterior parts of the dark borders with 
the dark dorsal line. 
(6). The sixth larva was very similar to the last, only 
rather darker throughout. ‘The traces of red borders 
to the stripes were somewhat more distinct. The trans- 
parent zone was very small, although bright yellow. 
(7). The seventh larva was a distinct yellowish green 
variety. The spots were still reddish, although darker 
in colour than in previous larve; the dark parts of the 
borders were also of a dark reddish colour. The fusion 
between the dorsal line and posterior parts of the 
borders, had now caused the appearance of a broad 
dark green dorsal band. ‘The stripes were distinct and 
of a yellowish white colour. The zone on the horn was 
slight and dim. The spiracles were all black except the 
last, which was nearly so. The last red spot was small 
and indistinct, and the last but one was also smaller 
than the others. The anterior line on the head was 
distinct, as well as the lateral band. There was no 
trace of an anterior extension of the upper part of the 
dark borders along the upper margin of the subdorsal 
line, as in other larve to be described below (see figs. 11, 
12,18). In all the points not specially alluded to, this 
larva was about as dark as the one last described. 
(8). The eighth larva was also distinctly yellowish 
green, and its appearance is indicated in fig. 12, ( x 8). 
It was much darker than the last and the spots were 
black and not red. The amount and distribution of the 
dark markings is sufficiently indicated in the figure. 
Although so different from the larve hitherto described, 
some of the varieties of the next division of larva, of 
which one is represented in fig. 11, form a very perfect 
transition from this to the lighter larvae. The very 
different and darker ground colour of the area above the 
subdorsal, is very striking. 
(9). The ninth larva was the darkest obtained except 
one (the 7th of the next division): it was the larva 
which died Sept. 27th. 
(10). The tenth larva was the one which was separated 
in the 2nd stage, because of the especial development of
