was visible on the top of the egg, in shape like a crescent. On the Qist this 
mark had enlarged, and the head of the caterpillar was distinctly visible, 
the rest of the ege being of a dirty pink shade, 
July 22nd.—Five larves emerged by eating away the top of the shell. The 
rest of the shell is left untouched. The larva, when newly hatched, is a little 
over }” long, white, with a few fine white hairs or down. It resembles a flat 
white maggot more than anything else. Head black, very large for the body, 
heart-shaped. The body tapers a little towards the tail. 
July 28th.—Larve nearly 3” long, of a blue-green colour, fading to yellowish 
at the tail, The body is thicker at the head, and tapers regularly to the tail. 
It is covered with minute white hairs. Scarcely perceptible lines of a brownish 
tint extend from the head to the tail. 
August 12th.—The body is very much thicker in the middle, tapering towards 
the tail, The larve were now ’,” long, and very pretty. Head flat, rising to 
two little points at the top. By degrees spots and lines made their appearance, 
and on the 27th of August I described the nearly full-grown larva as follows:— 
Length 3”; fusiform ; from the front the head looks like that of a cat with 
ears erect, ‘The body tapers more from the middle to the tail than from the 
middle towards the head, and terminates in two little pointed tails. Head and 
body fawn-colour, with the following markings :—two ear-like projections on 
the head, and a line on each side of the head, dark brown. Minute brown 
lines forming a square on the face, A narrow dorsal dark brown stripe, much 
darker from the middle of the body to the tails, bifurcated anally. The sides 
are ornamented by five narrow yellowish-white lines, the two upper ones 
undulating, the three lower ones straight. Two minute subdorsal dark brown 
spines on the 3rd segment, two on the 4th, and one dorsal one on the 13th. An 
irregular subdorsal series of dark brown spots, one on each of the 6th, 7th, 
8th, and 9th segments, A narrow spiracular dark brown line, Legs, claspers, 
and abdomen, fawn-colour. The whole body presents the appearance of a 
piece of very finely woven repp. On the 31st of October I brought the larve 
from Mussoorie, in the hills, to Bankipore, in the plains, and fed them on 
various kinds of grass, 
The larva, when full grown, is 1}” long. The markings are the same as ) 
described above, only more spread out, 
December 24th.—One larva suspended itself by the tail, and remained in 
that position for two days. I found it changed to a chrysalis on the morning 
of the 27th. The chrysalis is brown, wing-cases paler and more of a reddish- 
golden-brown. Shape, much the same as Lethe sidonis, Hewitson. 
January 19th, 1894,—Butterfly emerged. 
February 7th.—A second imago appeared to-day. These, like their parents, 
are distinctly C. nrmala. It would appear, therefore, that this is a distinct
