between lepidopterous larve and their surroundings. 339 
Ill. G. quercifolia. 
November 3rd. The larvee with brown bramble-stems were 
compared and arranged for hybernation. The larvae were 
more distinctly brown and more uniformly so than when 
last compared. The brown patches on three parts of the 
surface of certain larve, viz. the 2nd, 5th, and 8th 
abdominal segments, were still evident and more distinct 
than ever. On some individuals they had increased in 
size. In only a single larva were the light patches at all 
large and conspicuous. Seven larvee were very uniform 
in appearance—dark brown with light brown patches 
generally present. The remaining 4 larvee were also dark 
brown, but 1 was distinctly marked with white, 2 less 
distinctly marked with brownish-white, while the dorsal 
surface of 1 was overspread with grey. The latter larva 
was painted on October 17th (Plate XVII, fig. 12). One 
of the brownish-white-marked larvee was painted on October 
13th (Plate XVII, fig. 10); and 2 of the 7 first described 
were painted on September 30th (Plate XVII, fig. 11) and 
October 16th (Plate XVII, fig. 13). 
This group of larvee was arranged for hybernation as 
follows :— 
I. Four of the 7 uniform larve were enclosed. with 
lichen-covered sticks. 
J. The remaining 3 were enclosed with black twigs. 
K. The 4 more spotted or lighter larva: were enclosed 
with brown stems. 
First GENERAL COMPARISON AFTER HYBERNATION, 
Marcu 26th, 1894. 
The weather was very warm on March 25th and 26th, 
and the buds of the hawthorn were well out. 
I. THE 14 QUERCIFOLIA LARVA ON BLACK TWIGS BEFORE 
HYBERNATION, 
A. The 3 chequered larvxe with black twigs.—All three 
larvee were quite healthy, and freely moved about when 
disturbed. Two were at rest on the black twigs, 1 was 
walking about, probably disturbed by the exanfination. 
They had eaten many of the buds, and one had changed
