LIGDIA ADUSTATA. 153 
But the following variety, captured here (Exeter) 
by Mr. D’Orville, 1 have never seen mentioned before ; 
in fact, at first we took it to be a new species. ‘The 
ground colour above is a grey-brown; a broad 
ochreous-yeilow dorsal stripe, widest in the centre of 
each segment, and contracted at the segmental 
divisions; very thin subdorsal and spiracular white 
lines; on the front of each of segments four, five, six, 
and seven are two dorsal white spots, and on each 
segment ten black dots; belly and sides, for first five 
seoments, are of the same colour as the back, but for 
the remainder are ochreous-yellow. The lateral 
blotches on the fifth, sixth, and seventh segments are 
dark brown, followed by smaller spots on the hinder 
segments; the head also has a dark brown spot on 
each lobe. (John Hellins, April 6th, 1865; EK.M.M., 
June, 1865, II, 16.)

Some Varreties of the Larva.—In February, 1863, 
Mr. H. Doubleday kindly sent me a batch of eggs; 
these were at first light green in colour, afterwards 
changing to a bluish-black-green. 
The larvee were hatched on the 28th of March, being 
then dark dingy green in colour and short in figure ; 
they fed inside buds of oak, which I partially opened 
for them with a pin, and by the 14th of April they 
had become about a quarter of an inch in length, and 
were furnished with a few bristles; all their dark 
colour was gone, and they were now of a very pale 
whitish-creen. As they grew bigger their skin 
seemed to grow harder, as though to fit them for 
feeding exposed, and at last there appeared about 
four varieties. These Mr. Buckler has kindly figured, 
together with some other larve captured at different 
times.
