funnel is, in reality, built and extended by the larva; and 
what little matter besides silk goes to make its exterior has 
been added and worked in from the outside. In the several 
larve that I have had feeding in breeding-cages, this habit 
of building up and making tubes, for which remnants of 
leaves and other extraneous substances are pressed into use, 
struck me as quite characteristic ; and in one instance I have 
had such a tube extended over nine inches from the tunnelled 
trunk, the moss on which the section of Yucca rested being 
used in its construction. 
In the issuing of the imago the pupa skin is rent on the 
middle of the notum and across the eyes, and the casings of 
the legs are never, and those of the antenne seldom, severed 
from their solderings in the exuvium. The imago rests with 
its antenne slightly diverging and generally directed for- 
wards, with the wings elevated, closely appressed, and with 
the costa of primaries at an angle of about 45° from the body. 
Regarding the flight, which is diurnal, Dr. J. H. Mellichamp, 
of Bluffton, S.C., was impressed with the extremely rapid 
and darting motions of the insect as it passes from plant to 
plant; and Mr. E. A. Schwarz, of Detroit, who has had very 
excellent opportunity of observing the species in Volusia 
Co., Florida, informs me that, when startled, Megathymus 
flies directly upward twenty or thirty feet, then horizontally 
for a long stretch,—sometimes out of sight,—and descends 
as directly as it rose. It frequents open places, is very shy, 
and generally settles near the ground.

Entomological Notes, Captures, §e. 
On the Immense Flight of Terias Lisa in the Bermudas 
(Entom. ix. p. 54).—The majority of the readers of the 
‘Entomologist’ will, I am sure, have felt great interest in the 
valuable paper, by Mr. J. M. Jones, on the extraordinary 
flight of Terias Lisa to the Bermudas. As I take especial 
interest in the migration of butterflies, as well as birds, and 
being ignorant of the geographical range of that species, 
beyond that given by Mr. 8S. H. Scudder in a footnote at 
p. 57, I should feel greatly obliged to my friend Mr. Jones if 
he could kindly answer the following questions:—(1) In
