and with rather less polish than the other parts, and 
as they meet the ends of the leg- and antenna-cases 
their margin is hollowed into a shght concave form. 
It reposes in a whity-brown tough silken cocoon, 
spun to the upper surface of a hawthorn leaf after it 
has been drawn together by uniting the edges of the 
leaf, which then soon assumes something of a fusiform 
look, but yet with the appearance of a mere withered 
leaf. The moth came forth from this pupa on July 
7th, 1873. (William Buckler, July, 18/73; Note 
Book I, 120.)

Plate CXXI, fig. 6. 
Last year (1875), at the end of May, the Rev. 
P. H. Jennings, M.A., of Longfield Rectory, kindly 
_ sent me a few eggs of this species ; they were oblong- 
oval, and indented on the upper surface; the colour 
erass-oreen, 
On the 8th of June they hatched, and the newly 
emerged larve were dingy green, with the extremities 
tinged with yellow, and the head pale brown. On 
being supphed with the common white Dutch clover, 
they fed well until the 19th of July, by which time 
they were full-grown, and a description was taken as 
follows: 
Length about three-quarters of an inch, and of 
average bulk in proportion; the head has the lobes 
olobular, is shining, rather hairy, and slightly notched 
on the crown ; body cylindrical, and of nearly uniform 
width throughout ; skin smooth, clothed with a few, 
almost imperceptible, very short hairs; segmental 
divisions distinct. The ground colour is bright green, 
darkest along the sides; the head green, with the 
mandibles brown; two parallel white lines extend 
through the centre of the dorsal area, enclosing 
between them an almost hair-like, white dorsal line
