  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings 
  is 
  perfectly 
  visible, 
  and 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  

   posterior 
  pair, 
  indistinctly. 
  

  

  Five 
  days 
  after 
  pupation 
  (August 
  11th), 
  the 
  following 
  

   changes 
  were 
  noticed. 
  The 
  eye-cases 
  had 
  become 
  purple 
  ; 
  

   the 
  wing-cases 
  were 
  whitish, 
  perfectly 
  relieving 
  the 
  nervula- 
  

   tion 
  ; 
  the 
  abdomen 
  green 
  except 
  at 
  its 
  tip 
  where 
  it 
  was 
  brown. 
  

   The 
  antennae 
  folded 
  over 
  the 
  eyes, 
  cutting 
  off 
  a 
  small 
  section 
  

   of 
  their 
  upper 
  portion, 
  have 
  the 
  club 
  brown, 
  and 
  showing 
  the 
  

   joints 
  ; 
  the 
  posterior 
  leg-cases 
  show 
  numerous 
  brown 
  spinules 
  

   on 
  the 
  inclosed 
  legs. 
  

  

  On 
  August 
  12th, 
  a 
  few 
  hours 
  before 
  the 
  escape 
  of 
  the 
  butter- 
  

   fly, 
  the 
  chrysalis 
  was 
  brown, 
  except 
  at 
  the 
  abdominal 
  incis- 
  

   ures, 
  where 
  it 
  was 
  green 
  and 
  of 
  a 
  transparency 
  disclosing 
  

   some 
  of 
  the 
  internal 
  organs. 
  The 
  white 
  annulations 
  of 
  the 
  

   antennal 
  joints 
  were 
  visible, 
  and 
  through 
  the 
  wing-cases 
  could 
  

   be 
  seen 
  the 
  gray 
  scales 
  of 
  the 
  margin, 
  the 
  disk 
  and 
  the 
  cilia 
  

   of 
  the 
  wings. 
  The 
  butterfly 
  emerged 
  in 
  the 
  afternoon 
  of 
  the 
  

   12th. 
  

  

  From 
  two 
  other 
  larvae 
  which 
  had 
  been 
  reared 
  on 
  Aquilegia 
  

   canadensis* 
  and 
  changed 
  to 
  chrysalis 
  on 
  the 
  8th 
  and 
  9th 
  (5f 
  

   August, 
  butterflies 
  were 
  obtained 
  on 
  the 
  15th, 
  giving 
  for 
  the 
  

   length 
  of 
  pupation 
  of 
  the 
  three 
  examples, 
  six, 
  seven 
  and 
  six 
  

   days 
  respectively. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  captures 
  in 
  the 
  field 
  of 
  iV 
  T 
  . 
  Lucilius 
  were 
  made 
  

   during 
  the 
  year 
  (1870) 
  when 
  the 
  above 
  notes 
  were 
  taken 
  : 
  May 
  

   16th, 
  at 
  Bethlehem, 
  Albany 
  county, 
  3 
  £ 
  's

   one 
  $ 
  each, 
  at 
  Center; 
  July 
  6th, 
  9 
  <3's 
  at 
  Bethlehem, 
  and 
  

   another 
  at

  locality 
  on

  ; 
  and 
  others 
  again 
  on 
  

   August

  at 
  the 
  same 
  place. 
  

  

  On 
  August 
  25th 
  and 
  28th, 
  five 
  butterflies 
  were 
  obtained 
  

   from 
  larvae 
  which 
  had 
  been 
  collected 
  at 
  Bethlehem. 
  So 
  late 
  

   as 
  September 
  9th, 
  larvae 
  just 
  emerged 
  from 
  the 
  egg 
  were 
  taken, 
  

   associated 
  with 
  others 
  about 
  half-grown. 
  

  

  There 
  are 
  two 
  annual 
  broods 
  of 
  this 
  butterfly, 
  and 
  possibly 
  

   a 
  third.
