material only. By mixing the rare species with my commoner kinds of moths 

 and butterflies I can dispose of all at five cents each. When the time comes 

 that dealers will not accept my terms as advertised I will probably alter the terms, 

 but I am happy to state that I am receiving some very large orders upon my own 

 terms as published. 



ADDITION TO LIST OF FOODPLANTS. 



Ida M. Corwin, Redwood City, Cal., sends the first addition to the food- 

 plant list of butterflies. She writes that she has reared Melitasa wrighti Edw., 

 on Castilleja latifolia. This plant is called The Indian Paint Brush in the Wild 

 Flowers of California, by Mary Elizabeth Parsons. Mrs. Corwin adds that the 

 larvae will eat Castilleja foliolosa, but prefer latifolia. I am very glad to have one 

 of my pupils add the first name to the foodplant list of the butterflies whose food 

 plants have hitherto been unknown. Every time a caterpillar is found upon a 

 plant the fact should be recorded, and when the caterpillar has passed the pupal 

 stage and becomes a butterfly, if its foodplant has never been announced, the 

 discoverer has added something to scientific knowledge. 



N. B.— ALL SUBSCRIPTIONS DURING THE YEAR WILL 

 BEGIN WITH VOL. I, NO. 1.
