Note to Table VII. — As soon as the larvfp were found to be spinning-ui3 they were 

 removed from tlie forcing-box to the ordinary temperature of the room, and were "cooled" 

 a day or two after pupating. 



Table VIII. — E. autitmnaria. Sleeved as larvae, ordinary temperature as pupge. 



JVofe.— The reason of the forcing and cooling was that I was away from home from 10th to 

 12th August, and again from 16th to 25th August, and measures had to be taken to prevent the 

 emergence of the moths during my absence. Upon a careful examination, and a comparison with 

 some bred in 1SS8 from larv;T3 and pupas sleeved as larv.T, and kept at an ordinary temperature 

 all through the pupal period, which they closely resemble in appearance, I do not think the 

 forcing or cooling has afi'ected their appearance. Neither forcing nor cooling was in any case 

 applied till the pupse had been 15 days at the ordinary temperature. (Nos. 12 and 15 are figs. 1 

 and 2 in the Plate).
