bore labels in Mr. Rogers's handwriting indicating emergence 

 on May 16, 1911. In three of these the white patch on the 

 hind wing upper surface, just beyond the cell, was distinct ; in 

 six it was slightly indicated ; in two represented by scattered 

 white scales. The patch was not borne by the parent. The 

 second female parent was captured in the same locality on Nov. 

 29, 1911 ; the males were liberated, and the dates of emergence 

 and forms of the females were shown in the following table, in 

 which no mention is made of the white patch when represented 

 only by scattered scales : —

Two or three males died, but are put down for the dates on 

 which they changed colour preparatory to emergence. 



These experiments confirmed the conclusions drawn from 

 Rev. St. Aubyn Rogers's earlier work and stated in the 

 Proceedings of 1911, p. xliv, that misippus was dominant and 

 inaria recessive, although the proportions of the last family 

 were neither 1 : 1 nor 1 : 3, but, on the contrary, very nearly 

 1:2. It was possible, as Mr. L. Doncaster had suggested, that 

 the female had paired with more than one male.
