SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES. 
other two Mr. Neumoegen retained. One of them, on 7th September, 1882, 
gave imago, the other passed the second winter and then gave imago. So pro¬ 
tracted a chrysalis period is remarkable and extremely unusual in butterflies. 
I he caterpillar is very like that of Buiulus , green, with a pair of club-shaped 
spots on fourth segment, after the pattern of Rutulus, and therefore unlike 
lurnus. Mr. E. M. Dodge observed Daunus ovipositing at Boulder, Colorado, 
1882 . By confining a female in bag over a branch of wild plum-tree he ob¬ 
tained many eggs, and forwarded them to me. Unfortunately they were lost in 
the mail. 
Colias Piiilodice. — The larval measurements in the text are given in the 
last pait of the stages o to 5. laken at twenty-four hours from the several 
moults, the length would be — 
Young larva 
First moult 
Second moult 
Third moult 
Fourth moult 
Mature . 
.06 inch. 
.12 inch. 
.18 inch. 
.3 inch. 
.52 to .56 inch. 
1 to 1.1 inch. 
In general, the larval measurements in this Volume have been taken at from 
twelve to twenty-four hours after the moult. 
Argynnis Meadii. — The extensive collections made in Nevada by Mr. Mor¬ 
rison render it highly probable that Meadii is an extreme variety of A. JSTeva- 
densis. ^ On the Plate of Nevadensis, in vol. i., two species are figured, the male 
being JSevadensis , the female Coronis, Belir, a species widely dispersed, flying 
iiom southern California to Montana and British America, and subject to a good 
deal of variation. 
MelityEA Phaeton. — In addition to the plants named in the text, the larva 
of this species is now known to feed on Mimulus ringens and Gerardia pedicu- 
lata. 
Apatura Leilia. — The male only is figured, and at the time the Plate issued 
the other sex was unknown. Subsequent collecting by Messrs. Doll and Morri¬ 
son, in Arizona, have made us familiar with the species in both sexes. 
Apatura Flora. — Under Cl/jton I described Flora as a possible variety of 
that species. In 1880, I received young larvm of Flora from Dr. Wittfeld, In- 
• dian Liver, Fla., who obtained eggs by confining females over branches of Celtis. 
Ihese I reared to imago. Since then I have several times had the species. It 
is undoubtedly distinct from Clyton. The preparatory stages are described by 
me in the “ Canadian Entomologist,” vol. xiii., p. 82, 1881. 
Apatura Alicia. — Figured and described in vol. i. This species also I have
