seen either from the front or the side the " hump " or " hood " forms a most 

 perfect fish's head with the mouth open, and two small black dots have appeared 

 on the side of the hump about midway from its summit, which have the 

 appearance of eyes and complete the resemblance. Laterally a black band 

 has appeared in shape like a bow, extending from about the fifth 

 segment, arching upwards just posterior to the subdorsal dots already men- 

 tioned on the narrow part of the back and descending again at the beginning of 

 the flap-shaped thirteenth segment. On the ninth segment there is another 

 pair of subdorsal dots, which dots at this date have turned dark brown. There 

 is also a narrow dark green dorsal band, which darkens and widens out on the 

 twelfth segment, and fades away to nothing on the thirteenth segment. The 

 larva, which up to the present fed very daintily, now eats greedily, and appears 

 to have almost doubled in bulk in the last few days. August 8th. — The 

 eye-dots are now larger and quite black, and, in addition, there: are two 

 minute brown dots, one in front and one behind the eye-dot, forming a hori- 

 zontal line of three spots. The arched line already described is now quite black 

 and much broader. The subdorsal dots have merged into one dark patch. The 

 larva when fully extended is now three-quarters of an inch in length. August 

 9 th. — The larva has left its food-plant and looks like a bit of shrivelled leaf. 

 The ground-colour has changed to a very dirty brown, and the dorsal patch is 

 a dark brown colour. August 11th. — The larva still lying on the petiole end of 

 the leaf head downwards. The " hump " is of a yellowish-brown colour, and the 

 area on which were the dark marks is of a very pretty emerald-green colour 

 with two dorsal white crescents, with a minute white spot in the space be- 

 tween the two points of each crescent. All the other markings have disap- 

 peared. The flattened anal segment is of a light yellowish-brown colour. 

 August 12th,— The larva pupated, attached by the tail. The pupa is half 

 an inch long, and resembles a small piece of dark brown dead stick. 



It is most difficult to find the larvse when they first emerge from the egg. 

 Out of thirteen eggs only three larvse were found. The food-plant rotted and 

 had to be thrown away as it turned quite black ; one dead larva was found on 

 the rotten plant. The old food-plant was put into a bottle with fresh leaves, 

 but no larvaa appeared. The best plan is to put one egg only in a very small 

 bottle, when each larva emerges it can then be found without fail.

Note by Mk. de Nice'ville. 



Mrs. S. Robson has very kindly sent me a live pupa of Camena cleobis, Godart, 



which 1 describe as follows : — Pupa attached to the underside of a leaf from 



which it hangs free, with no silk band across the middle as is usual in the 



Lyccenidce. It is fixed to the leaf by the anal segment, being attached to a
