three large, and a group of smaller setae on joints 6 and 12, three large 

 and other very rudimentary ones on joints 5 to 11. This is a most in- 

 teresting variation as foreshadowing the condition of the more specialized 

 species where but three setae remain.

LIFE-HISTORY OF CALYBIA SLOSSONLE. 



By Harrison G. Dyar. 



I am able to present descriptions of the remaining stages of this larva 

 which, with those previously given by me, will complete the life-history. 

 The previous article may be amended as follows : 



This Journal, V, p. 123, line 1, read . . appendages of nearly 

 equal length at maturity, the anterior ones a little shorter, but in stages 

 II and III of unequal length as in Phobetron. Page 124, line 1 for 

 " except that this character may not be primary," read : except that this 

 character is a secondary adaptation. 



Add : I have recently received a specimen of this species from Mr. 

 Graef labeled "Texas." 



Description of the Several Stages in Detail. 



Eg%- — Add: duration of this stage six days; 15 days in a cold 

 room in New York.
