 on the body, a yellow freckle larger than the others is 

 substituted for each of them, excepting on the green 

 shining head, where they are just discernible with a 

 good lens ; the ends of the jaws black ; the skin of the 

 body soft and velvety. (W. B., Note Book III, 82.)

On the 28th April, 1871, I received a batch of eggs 

 from Mr. Evan John, of Llantrisant, Glamorganshire. 

 The eggs were laid on muslin and paper. 



The egg is globular, finely ribbed and reticulated, and, 

 when first laid, of a pale straw-yellow, soon turning 

 to pale flesh colour with a splash of brown on the top, 

 and a ragged-looking irregular zone of brown round 

 the middle. In a few days they began to grow of a 

 pinkish-brown by degrees, the splash at top and the 

 zone being merged into the same general colour.

 marram-grass was sent by Mr. G. T. Porritt on the 

 17th April, 1872. Mr. Porritt stated that the moths 

 of this species deposited their eggs also on the old 

 withered remains of ragwort and houndstongue. 



The eggs at first are pale yellow and conspicuous 

 on the dried-up remains of the plants even at a con- 

 siderable distance, but gradually change to a purplish- 

 brown, and so become inconspicuous. On the 23rd 

 they began to grow of a leaden hue, and on the 24th 

 were covered with a pale bluish tint like the bloom of 

 ripe sloes, and in the afternoon they began to hatch. 



The young larvae were at first of a bluish-green,
