PSYCHE. 5 
The black of the first, or imtermediate, 
female was also pale, but the light parts 
were more green and less sordid; there 
were three large lunules, the anal red spot 
was double and connected as in telamoni- 
des, the frontal hairs were short as in 
marcellus. I find these the most salient 
points for comparing the several forms of 
P.ajazx. In nature there is much difference 
in shape also between marcellus and tela- 
monides, still more between marcellus and 
walshii, and the latter may be distinguished 
readily from telamonides by the white tips 
of the black tails. In telamonides the 
white edges both sides of the tail. Walshii 
is smaller and the anal spot is larger and 
edged with white on upper side, and the 
frontal hairs are long and brush-like and 
black. In marcellus they are very short 
and with much yellow; in telamonides 
they are of a length between the other two, 
black with yellow next the eyes. 
From lot No. 2, 20 days, came: 1 2 
marcellus, with single red spot; 1 @ 
between marcellus and telamonides, the 
colors pale, the lunules all obsolescent, two 
large red spots but not connected, frontal 
hairs of medium length, as in telamonides ; 
1 2 between marcellus and telamonides, 
color not pale, but black and green, three 
lunules, two large red spots, frontal hairs 
short; 1 @ telamonides, colors black and 
green, four lunules, a large double and 
connected red spot, frontal hairs medium ; 
2 2 telamonides, colors like last, three 
and four lunules, two large red spots, not 
connected, frontal hairs medium. 
From lot No 3, 25 days: 1 % telamon- 
ides, clear colors, four large lunules, one 
large and one small red spot, frontal hairs 
long; 1 @ telamonides, of medium color, 
four lunules, large double and connected 
red spot, frontal hairs long. 
In general shape all are marcellus, the 
wings produced, the tails long. 
By which it appears that those exposed 
25 days were fully changed ; of those ex- 
posed 20 days, three were fully, two partly 
changed, and one not at all. Of those ex- 
posed 14 days, one partly, two not at all. 
The butterflies from this lot of 104 
chrysalids, but which were not subjected 
to cold, were put in papers as they emerged. 
Taking 6 % 6 2 from the papers, as they 
came to hand, I spread them and compared 
with the iced examples. 
Of the 6 &,4 have one red anal spot 
only, 2 have one large and one small; 4 
have two green submarginal lunules on 
hind wing, 2 have three, and these latter 
have a fourth, which is obsolescent, at outer 
angle ; all have short frontal hairs. 
Of the 6 2, 5 have but one red spot, 1 
has one large and one small spot; 5 have 
two lunules only, 1 has three; all have 
short frontal hairs. 
Comparing 6 of the females from the 
iced chrysalids, being those in which a de- 
cided change occurred, with the 6 females 
not iced : — 
1. All the former have the colors more 
intense, the black blacker, the light, green. 
2. In 5 of the former the green lunules 
on hind wings are decidedly larger; 3 of 
the 6 have four distinct lunules, 1 has three, 
1 has three, and a fourth, at outer angle, 
obsolescent. 
Of the 6 not iced, none have four, 2 
have two, and a third, being the lowest of 
the row, obsolescent, 3 have three, the 
lowest being very small, 1 has three and a 
fourth, at outer angle, obsolescent.
