nearly without exception, all that I saw were flying from West to East. They 

 continued their flight along the wharves and apparently crossed over the harbor. 

 This was noticed day after day, and yet they could not have been migrating, for 

 I found them breeding. The flight is steady and firm and quite rapid, like 

 that of CalUdryas eubule, and only occasionally did I notice them hovering over 

 flowers. A chimp of Japan Privet trees in bloom seemed attractive, and on 

 this T occasionally saw them light, and once I saw two females feeding on clo- 

 ver blossoms. All others seen were in flight, and I only succeeded in capturing 

 specimens by standing in the line of flight and dashing my net at them as they 

 passed. On July 7th pupae were brought to me ; they had been taken from the 

 stems of millet and in angles in the wall of a green house. My informant was 

 sure that no CrucifercE were in the neighborhood, and I was unable to verify 

 his statement, but presume that this was a mistake, and that mignonette or 

 something of the kind grew near. The chrysalis is pale whitish yellow, marked 

 with black, and has two black filamentous spines, projecting, one from either 

 side, at the position occupied by the posterior angle of the wings.
