Egg-masses of the Vaporer Moths Wanted (Lep.). 



I am venturing to appeal for help in connection with some studies 

 in heredity I am making. I am studying the inheritance of the hair 

 pencils in the larvae of the Vaporer Moths and am very anxious to 

 get egg masses of the Vaporer Moths, Orgyia (Notolophus) vetusta 

 and O. badia found on the Pacific coast and also of any other Orgyia 

 found in the West. Furthermore, I want to study the gametogenesis, 

 especially the spermatogenesis, of these species and also the behavior 

 of the mitochondria. 



In return I shall be pleased to do all I can and I can assist in prac- 

 tically every group of animals or plants. — J. W. H. Harrison, 181
