The food-plant, Viburnum dentatum, given on the authority of Mr. 
Glover (doubtless borrowed from Dr. Packard) is probably a mistake. 
The caterpillar of Phaeton has been found upon a great variety of plants, 
such as Aster, Corylus, Berberis, Solidago, Vernonia, Clematis, and 
Rubus, and even upon ferns, grasses, and flags; but this is to be ac- 
counted for simply by the roving disposition of the caterpillar. 
It is strange that Mr. Edwards makes no allusion whatever to the 
very careful account of the history of this insect given three or four 
years ago by Mr. Lintner.
