described, but much thicker, and not so active. 
It is of a light green, striped on each side with 
faint wliite, but the streaks are so mingled with 
green, that they do not appear very distinct. It 
lodges among leaves, but more especially amongst 
the clusters of bloom, and afterwards among young 
fruit, protected with decayed blossom, where it 
is most generally found curled or folded in a cir- 
cular form. 
About the latter end of June these animals 
genei’ally let themselves down from the tree by a 
silken cord of their own manufacturing, and some 
will creep down the tree; they then enter a little 
depth into the earth, and form the pupa, and 
about the month of October the moth is produced, 
and even as late as the middle of November I 
have found some only arrive at the emago state, 
which is something larger than the two former 
described. The wings are chiefly of a dark or 
dingy drab colour. The moth deposits its eggs 
about the dugs, and on the branches. I am not 
quite certain whether the Caterpillar is brought 
into existence before the early part of the spring. 
As the perfect insect emerges late in the year, 
it is most probable that the embryo she pro- 
duces waits the approach of the exhilerating 
spring, or probably some are only then deposited, 
as we find some considerably smaller than others ; 
but, at all events, we find some of them attacking 
the buds much about the same time as the former 
ones described. This insect commits great dej)re-
