General Notes. 
On the eggshells of Lepidoptera and their development, in reply to 
VValdeyer : W. von Nathiisius, Z. wiss. Zool. xxi. pp. 325-329, pi. 24 B. 
On protective and general variation in the colour of larvae and on the egg- 
state, see Goossens, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (4) x. Bull. pp. cxi, cxviii \ ibid. (5) 
i. pp. x-xii. 
On larvae refused by birds : J. J. Weir, Nature, iii. p. 166. 
On the claspers of young larvae ns affecting their classification, B. Lockyer, 
Ent. V. pp. 433, 434. He thinks the Geometree should follow the Noctuce. 
Scudder, in an article on the embryonic larvae of Butterflies ” (Ent, 
M. M. viii. pp. 122-126), shows that the larvae of nearly all the principal 
groups of Rhopalocera differ more in structure from their adult condition, 
before the first moult, than do the adult larvae of allied genera. These 
differences are not always in the same direction; but in every case the 
appendages vary greatly, and larvae are never found to be furnished only 
with irregularly distributed minute simple hairs in infancy and regularly 
arranged special appendages at maturity. 
On the internal anatomy of the larvae of various Lepidoptera (chiefly 
JBombyces), see A. Targioni-Tozzetti, Bull. Ent. Ital. iii. pp. 392-406, pi. 3. 
On the hibernation of tree-eating larvae, see W. H. Harwood, Ent. M. M. 
vii. pp. 277 & 278. 
F. Buchanan White gives a list of Lepidoptera which feed on Scotch fir : 
Scot. Nat. i. pp. 86 & 87. 
The larvae of several American moths are described by W. Saunders, 
Canad. Ent. iii. pp. 226-227.
