Urapteryx sambucata.—A female, taken July 13th, laid 
one hundred and twenty-three eggs: eleven on the 138th, thirty- 
eight on the 14th, sixteen on the 15th, thirteen on the 16th, 
forty-one on the 17th, and four on the 18th. Of these sixty- 
six were deposited on the muslin cover, forty on the glass 
cylinder, and forty-seven on the under side of the leaves of 
the food-plant; some were laid singly, some contiguous and 
in order; those on the leaves were near the middle of each 
leaf, spherical, rather longer longitudinally, the end by which 
they were attached to the surface rather smaller than the 
other; longitudinally divided into eight flattened sides, which 
cease towards the top, leaving a circular space slightly 
depressed, and around which the divisions of the sides rise 
in small points; straw-coloured, smooth, but only partially 
glossy; became orange-coloured on the fourth day; lead- 
coloured just before the young larve were hatched, which 
took place on the eighteenth day, July 31st. 
Cabera exanthemaria.—A female, taken July 3rd, laid 
eighty-five eggs: sixty were deposited on the 5th, eleven on 
the 6th, and four on the 18th. Of these twenty-five were laid 
on the upper surface of the leaves of the food-plant, goat- 
sallow (Salix caprawa), singly and much scattered; twenty- 
four on the under side and thirty-six on the muslin cover: 
oblong, depressed on the crown, rounded at the other end, 
yellow, of the finest gloss, slightly flattened on both surfaces.
