between C. ocularis male and C. or female, from the above 
stock in each case, bred as a second brood in August and 
September, 1898. He stated that he placed the reputed 
parents in a muslin sleeve on a branch of Populus nigra, and 
did not open the sleeve until the resulting larve required 
fresh food. To the best of his belief the female parent had 
no chance of pairing with a male of her own species. The 
supposed hybrids resembled the female parent, except that 
both orbicular and reniform stigmata were very conspicuous, 
being pure white filled up slightly with black, whereas in 
Y. or they are usually inconspicuous, and the orbicular are 
sometimes wanting. None of the C. or bred had the stigmata 
developed so fully as had the hybrids, which were most 
uniform in this respect. The tone, too, of the or shown was 
decidedly brown, while the others were grey. It was suggested 
that as fully half the pups came out unexpectediy as a 
second brood, and knocked themselves to pieces, the males of 
the batch might have been among them.
