the larvae start to feed. Head and collar dark brown, the head 
being roughly corrugated. The first moult occurred on the 
sixteenth of June, the larvae now being of a yellowish green 
color, otherwise the same as before. June the twenty-fourth 
the second moult occurred. Larvae are now of a grass green 
color, and are sparsely covered with numerous dark colored 
stiff hairs and also with numerous white spots, a greenish 
dorsal line is also in evidence, along with a sub-dorsal line 
of the same color. The head is light, or chestnut brown, with 
the suture very distinct. July third, the third moult occurred. 
The larvae are now of a darker green, and the anal shield 
shows a pinkish tinge, otherwise same as before. On July the 
thirteenth the larvae moulted for the fourth time. I noticed 
no difference in the larvae since the third moult. July the 
twenty-fourth the larve went into the chrysalis state, first 
forming a resting place in which to undergo this change 
by drawing two or more blades of grass together. On August 
the fourth a female butterfly emerged, the next day two males 
made their appearance. This species is double-brooded in the 
neighborhood of Philadelphia.

A description of the egg and larval stages of this species 
would be almost identical with that of P. zabulon, so I omit 
the description. However, some of my larvae went into the 
chrysalis state after the fourth moult, while others passed a 
fifth moult. The larvae when full grown are somewhat larger 
than those of P. zabulon, and somewhat darker. Have had 
this species to hibernate over winter in the egg, larval and 
chrysalis states. The species is double brooded in the vicinity 
of Philadelphia. 
4. Pamphila metea. , 
On the fifteenth of May, at Clementon, N. J., I secured sev- 
eral females of this species. The eggs were laid on the seven- 
teenth of May. The egg is of an opake color, and covered 
with very fine reticulations ; the egg is nearly hemispherical in 
shape, and has the apex slightly flattened. The eggs hatched
