ADDENDA. 



Mr. F. Davidson informs us that some of the larvae and pupaj described and 

 fio-ured in this vol. do not represent the larvse and pupae reared at Kanara and described, 

 and figured by Messrs. Davidson, Bell and Aitken in the Journal of the Bombay 

 Natural History Society in 1890 and 1896 ; we therefore think it advisable to give 

 their descriptions and figures, as follows ; the figures are for the most part from 

 Davidson's original coloured drawings, very kindly put at our disposal.

Larva. — We got five or six of these in September, feeding on the bark of Ficus 

 ylomerata, and, when that failed, on each other, for they are horrible cannibals. They 

 never ate a leaf. The larva is very stout, but is much constricted in the middle, so 

 that the circumference is greatest about the 3rd or 4th and 9th or 10th segments, 

 varying a little with position. It moves as freely backwards as forwards, the whole 

 ventral surface adhering closely to the branch, so that head and legs are seldom 

 visible. The colour is clear green, with or without a brown bar on each side of the 

 10th segment. 



Pupa.— Thick and short, humped on the thorax, and somewhat constricted behind ; 

 light brown mottled with darker. 



There were no ants with these larvse when they were brought to us, but after they 

 became pupae they were discovered by a nest of common house ants, and were 

 immediately put under a guard and carefully watched. 



At page 381 of the 1896 Journal they say that the larva feeds on young 

 shoots of the various fig trees.

Larva. — Onisciform, anal segments flattened ; slightly ridged along the back ; head 

 concealed by a plate, which is distinctly separated from the next segment, colour light 

 green, with a broad pink band in the middle of the back, centred by a dark green line, 

 a pink lateral band above the legs on each side, the sides banded obliquely with
