Hekla Havn and Hold with Hope; a few butterflies and 

 several larvae which contained the before mentioned parasite 

 Lim n eria Deichm a n ni. 



The Kolthoff Expedition bred some specimens between 

 19. and 23. July from cocoons collected on Pendulum Ö 6. July 

 and at Кар Bennet 14. July. As (he Expedition found at the

 limes and that they spin their cocoons immediately after the 

 last hibernation. (10. 1137.)
