either side of it, so that at the divisions there 
ig quite a marked feature in these white 
dashes ; the spiracular line is clear and dis- 
tinct, in colour white or pale yellow; the 
spiracles are black; the head dark reddish 
freckled with greenish ; the belly dark brown, 
29. Ground colour a deep bright green, dorsal 
markings very bright by contrast; head as 
before; belly full green; spiracular line 
white or pale yellow; anal flap and anal legs 
purplish. This is a very beautiful form of 
the larva, and seems to be developed at the 
last moult; an example now feeding was 
quite reddish-brown till it moulted. 
The pupa, enclosed in a slight cocoon, but appa- 
rently more complete than that of L. ruficinctata, 1s 
about half an inch long, cylindrical, and rather slender , 
the eyes rather prominent; the skin very glossy ; im 
colour almost olive on the wings; golden on the abdo- 
men; the eyes, abdominal rings, and end of tail dark 
brown. 
I should much like to hear some decisive statements 
on the question of this species being single or double 
brooded. (John Hellins, 18th May, 1875; H.M.M.,

I was very glad to receive eggs of Larentia ruficinc- 
tata in August, 1874, from Mr. Carrington, and in 
March, 1875, having failed to bring my larve through 
the winter, I was still more glad to have my loss made 
good by Mrs. Hutchinson ; and I am now able to give 
a tolerably full account of this species, and to compare 
some of its stages with L. cxsiata. ‘The result of this 
comparison will be to show that they stand very much
