Notes on Lepidopterous larvae .

never ceased feeding. 
F. Apiciaria . — Once reared from 
the egg, on Sallow.

localities where no Bilberry grows, 
with instructions to feed the larvae on 
Wild Rose ; I gave them both and 
found they liked Whortleberry best, 
but throve well on the Rose also. The 
larva has also been reared on Sallow. 
V. Maculata . — Once reared from 
the egg on purple Deadnettle (Lam-
