or whether lie relied upon former authors. Of these Hulst says that occasionally a 

 third spot is indicated b}' a few scales, while Clemens and Packard state that the 

 e3e-mark has " two or three blue pupils." Clemens, however, confounded frr/xi// 

 &m\ jamaicensis ; the "three blue pupils'' l)eing referable, in (inr o]iini(in, to 

 cerixi/i, the " two blue ])upils " to jamaicensis f. norm, yi'minatus. If Feniald's 

 statement of the occurrence of a third spot in jamaiceiisiis is based upon actual 

 observation, or is a loose repetition of Hulst's statement, then tripartitus of Grote 

 is the name of the aberrant specimens of jamaicensis which have the first spot 

 indicated ; if Fernald, however, derived his information from Clemens, tripartitus 

 is a mere synonym of ceris'/i. We refer to this matter esjiecially with a view of 

 showing that precision is no less necessary when introducing a new name than 

 when describing a new fact. 



Larva pale green, granules the same colour or whitish, side-bands pale yellow, 

 the last bright yellow ; horn bluish. — Food-idants : (Jherry and other Pnui/ts, as 

 well as a variety of other trees. 



I'ujia glossy, abdomen punctured, the punctures here and there connected by 

 corrugations. 



Ilab. Newfoundland, Canada to Virginia and Arizona, Iowa. 



Drury's locality "Jamaica" was erroneous. Several N. York species of 

 Fothergill's collection were said by Drury to be from Jamaica, while others that 

 came undoubtedly from Jamaica were represented as being from New York (see 

 P. brontes, p. 89). 



Several authors have referred to the " one-spotted " specimens as var. 

 jatnaice/isis. If the name jamaicensis is to be emi)loyed for some specimens, it 

 must be employed for the whole species as well. Those who object to the name on 

 the ground ot it being a misnomer may console themselves with the fact that there 

 is a jilace Jamaica in the >State of New York.
