All the pup£B wore fixed to the hlack paper. 

 1 pupa was very darh grey (2 V). 

 3 pupte (one dead) were grey, probably light (2 «). 



1 j^iijia was grey, probably interiiiediate between darlc 



and light (2 a, h).

(2) DARK STICKS (ONE MUCH LIGHTER THAN THK REST). 



All the pupae were attached to the sticks. 



2 pupas were dark grey, (2 h) one very dark. 



1 pupa, on the lightest bark, was light grey (2 a). 



2 pupai (dead) were grey, probably light (2 a). 



1 pupa (dead) and much altered, was probably the

(3) DIRTY WHITE PAINT. 



1 pupa, fixed to the painted surface, was intermediate 

 between dark and light grey (2 a, h), but with 

 some tendency, in the possession of a greenish 

 tinge, towards the yellow-green form (1), 



1 pupa, fixed to the painted surface, was dead and 



changed in colour, but it had probably been 

 yellow-green (1).

(4) DARKNESS, 



2 pupge were intermediate between dark and light 



yellow-green (1 a, h). 

 1 pupa (dead) had altered in colour, but had been a 



liglit form of either (1) or (2). 

 1 pupa was probably light yellow-green (1 a), but had 



darkened, apparently preparatory to emergence. 

 1 pujsa was intermediate between (1) and (2) and also 



intermediate between dark and light {a, h).

The absence of strong pigmentation, and the tendency 

 towards yellow-green rather than grey, were the marked 

 results of darkness, so far as these 5 pupae are concerned.
