a fine pubescence, the sides being fringed below with 

 more numerous and rather longer grey hairs, inter- 

 spersed with a few still longer of a dark brown colour. 

 The surface of the belly very slightly pubescent. 



On the 14th of June it was shortened and had begun 

 to spin the threads for its cocoon. (W. B., Note 

 Book II, 72.)

On the 6th of August, 1876, a female moth was 

 taken in the dusk of evening by Mr. Henry Terry in his 

 haod as she flew past the door. He brought her into 

 me to see what his capture was, and found she had 

 laid twelve eggs whilst in his hand ; these I kept for 

 description. 



The egg is rather large, roundish-ovate, some being 

 of a rounder shape than others, having a small, very 

 shallow circular depression above, and a deeper one 

 beneath, the surface smooth, the colour opaque 

 shining white, like porcelain ; the depressions above 

 and below are light greyish-green, and also the zones 

 which at some distance surround each depression, and 

 a smallish depressed round spot of the same colour is 

 at one end of the egg, midway between the two zones.

A long-cherished desire of obtaining eggs of this 

 species, for the purpose of watching the larva through 

 all its stages, was gratified on the 0th of May, 1B81, 

 when a dozen, laid on bits of paper and birch twig, 

 were sent me by Mr. H. McArthur from Rannoch.
