(Read before the Natunil Uhtory Society of Toronto. J 



In December, 1880, I read a paper before the Natural Histor)- 

 Society on the food plants of Pkitijsaviia cecropia. The paper was a 

 synopsis of observations extending over 17 years, made in the County 

 of York and contained a list of 49 species. This list was afterwards 

 published in the February number of " Papilio " for 1882.
