ABERRATION, VARIETY, RACE and FORM. 



By Dr. RoDRiGUEs Ottolengul 



Some months ago I received a pair of insects which, while 

 closely resembling a well-known species of Bombycid, yet were 

 markedly different in coloring. I showed them to a prominent 

 specialist in this group and he expressed the opinion that they 

 had been artificially produced. Another gentleman thought they 

 represented a good variety; a third thought them aberrations, 

 and finally another prominent entomologist advised me to name 

 and describe them as a new species.
