THE FOOD PLANTS OF PLATYSAMTA GECROPIA. 



BY WM. BRODIE. / 



(Read before the Natural History Society of Toronto.) 



In December, 1880, I read a paper before the Natural Historj- 

 Society on the food plants of Platysamia cecropia. The paper was a 

 synopsis of observations extending over 17 years, made in the County 

 of York and contained a list of 49 species. This list was afterwards 

 published in the February number of '• Papilio " for 1882. 



To this list I have made several rather important additions which 

 are included in the folio wins; revised list : —
