on the transverse ridges, the intervening transverse impressed lines 
being smooth, and without hairs or tubercles. Although the general 
color is pale green, a close examination shows that it has a slightly 
bluish cast, more apparent on the under side, which is paler than 
the dorsal surface. There is usually a narrow yellow line along the mid¬ 
dle of the back, but this is sometimes partially or entirely obliterated; 
on each side, near the lower margin, there is a row of bright yellow 
dots, one on each segment, a little behind the breathing pore. 
When young, the skin is somewhat glossy and shining, but when 
they reach maturity, the surface assumes a velvety appearance, 
given by the minute pimples and short hairs with which it is cov¬ 
ered. The head is rather small, and is also hairy; the body tapers 
very slightly toward each extremity; feeds on the different varieties 
of cabbage or turnips, and horse-radish. There are two broods in 
the northern and central parts of the State, and probably three in 
the southern. For a full account, and remedies, see Ninth Report 
of Entomologist.
