other early stages, as I have lost my notes. A number of the 
butterflies emerged from the chrysalis state from August the 
twenty-eighth to September the first. The species is double- 
brooded in the vicinity of Philadelphia. 
1o. Pamphila verna. 
From a female caged on June twenty-ninth, I secured a. 
number of eggs on July first. The egg is of a light green color ; 
slightly wider than high; finely punctuated, and apex flat- 
tened. The larvae hatched on July the thirteenth; when first 
hatched they are of an opake white, but twenty-four hours 
after feeding the larvae were of an oil green color; the body is 
marked with numerous brown spots.. Head and collar almost 
black, with slight punctuations. First moult occurred on July 
the twenty-second. The larvae are now of a lighter green, 
with numerous black spine-like hairs scattered over the body; 
a faint greenish dorsal line is present. Second moult occurred 
on August second ; twenty-four hours after moulting the larvae 
showed a heavy, greenish dorsal line, as well as a sub-dorsal 
line on each side of the body; the body is also covered with 
numerous white spots. August eleventh, the larvae moulted 
for the third time. Twenty-four hours after moulting the 
larvae assumed a lighter shade of green, otherwise I see no 
difference since last moult. Fourth moult occurred on August 
twenty-second. I notice no change since last moult. A fifth 
moult occurred on September fourth. The only change noticed 
since last moult is in the color of the body, which is now of a 
yellowish green. After carrying this insect successfully 
through its five moults, I lost them by a windstorm which blew 
my cage over, thus allowing the larvae to escape. 
11. Pamphila panoquin. 
Secured three female specimens of this butterfly at Anglesea, 
* New Jersey, on June eighteenth; from these females I secured 
some twenty fertile eggs on the nineteenth. The egg is of a 
pea green color, and is about as high as broad, with very fine 
reticulations. June twenty-seventh the eggs hatched. When 
first hatched the larvae are of an opake white color, and rather
