 on the same restricted area. The first series was composed 

 entirely of light forms, while the second year's series was 

 composed of specimens, all of which were dark, with one 

 exception, and this approeiched, but was not as light as, the 

 first year's series. He also exhibited a series of Lcvlia ccenosa 

 from various collections ; one of the specimens showed black 

 spots on the hind-wings.

 living larvae from two eggs laid by a female Notodonta

 larvae of N . ziczac.
