form is a crescentic curve, and their direction for- 
wards; the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth 
segments are long in proportion to the width; the 
sixth and ninth have transverse dorsal ridges, that on 
the sixth segment being decidedly the larger of the 
two; the seventh segment has a transverse ventral 
series of four lumps or warts, each wart being trans- 
versely elongate. 
The colour of the head and body is grey and brown, 
except the ventral surface of the twelfth and thirteenth 
seements, which is glaucous-green. The thirteenth 
segment terminates in three points directed back- 
wards; the middle one of these is very much smaller 
than the others. 
These larvee, for an ample supply of which I am 
indebted to Mr. Birchall, changed to chrysalids about 
the 16th of July, and to moths on the Ist of August.

Varieties of the Larva of LHnnomos fuscantaria.— 
Having during the past summer (1864) made the 
notable discovery that the larva of this species varies 
more than (in my ignorance) | was pleased to think 
it did, | venture to give descriptions, made with Mr. 
Buckler’s kind help, of the varieties that so far have 
become known to us. 
The larva may be generally described as elongate, 
with the true legs well developed, the third pair being 
sometimes of large proportions, and with two aual 
points. 
The variety which I first set eyes on gratified a 
crotchet of mine, inasmuch as it resembled the leaf- 
stalk of the ash, from which tree I beat it. In figure 
it was smooth; in colour it was green on the back, 
with a subdorsal stripe of yellow; the spiracular stripe
