24 LEUCANIA OONIGEEA. 



The other variety was of a brownish-grey tint, with 

 all the lines and stripes less distinct, but all disposed 

 in the same order as above described ; but the yellow 

 lines of the former variety were, in these, represented 

 by lines of grey, and the ground colour of the back 

 was brownish-grey. The dorsal line was grey, edged 

 with black, and the subdorsal a continuous line of 

 grey-brown, edged with blackish lines above and below, 

 but interrupted above and nearly continuous below. 

 The lateral lines and stripes were devoid of black, and 

 delicately defined with brown edges. 



The larvae fed until the end of May, and the moths 

 emerged between the 8th and 12th of July following.

 some part of the surface, which is apparently smooth, 

 and very polished, of a delicate straw-yellow colour, not 

 changing colour till the 24th October, when these eggs

On the 7th of October, 1864, I received three larvae 

 from Mr. Johns, of Babbicombe; he continued on 

 subsequent days, as weather permitted, to search for 

 more in the neighbourhood of Torquay, and succeeded 

 in securing another ; unfortunately, from casualties by
