A CURIOUS CHRYSALIS. 



We have not previously noticed the remarkable Bombycid chrysalis 

 figured by Dr. W. J. Holland (in Psyche^ vol. Yi, No. 190, at plate 5). 

 Dr. Holland states in the accompanying text, which occurs in one of his 

 articles entitled '^ Notes ujjon the Transformations of some African Lep- 

 idoptera," that this is the only instance with which he is familiar where 

 the pupa of a Bombycid moth is suspended from the cremaster, as are 

 many butterfly chrysalids. The species is Saturnia arnohia Westw., and 

 the specimens were found by Mr. Good in West Africa near the town 

 of Kangwe. Mr. Good at first thought that he had the chrysalis of 

 Papilio antimaclius or P. zalmoxis, although the general facies was Bom- 

 bycid . There were several rows of spines upon the abdominal segments 

 and at least four large spines on the dorsum of the thorax. The color 

 of the chrysalis was dark green, changing to pale green just before 

 disclosing the moth. Each one hung suspended by its anal end from 

 the twig and was partly inclosed by a few silken threads spun from one 

 neighboring leaf or twig to another.
