LARGE TORTOISE-SHELL. 71 



The chrysalis is rather dark greenish brown, with small golden 

 spots. It is frequently found beneath the coping of Avails, 

 underneath the trees on which the larva has fed, as well as 

 attached to the tree itself. 



There are several varieties of this species, the black markings 

 being more or less diffused. 



The fii?ure is taken from one in my own cabinet.
