Writing again October 27 our correspondent stated that this species was very plentiful during the j^ear, more so than in the preceding season, and expressed the opinion that if it continued to increase as it had done it might become a serious pest. During the past season the l>utterflies paid in part for what injury the caterpillars had accom- plished, in the fertilization of the pansies—bumblebees, the insects which usually bring about this result, having been unusually Fig. •I'l.—EiiiiloUta Claudia: a, mature butterfly; h, ciitcrpillar; c, jiupa—all natural size (orisinal). A full account of this species has been given b}" Dr. S. H. Scudder in his "Butterflies of the Eastern United States and Canada" (Vol. I, pp. 510-52T) where the difi'erent stages are f ull}- described and tigured, and other obtainable facts are detailed. The life history, however, is still somewhat incomplete. A shorter account is given in Dr. W. J. Holland's "Butterfly Book" (pp. 00, 100). This butterfly varies in the depth of markings as well as in size, the wing expanse being from an inch and three-fourths to two inches and three-fourths. The upper surface is dull ferruginous or pale brown, shaded on the inner moiety with darker brown, and beautifully marked, lined, and spotted with black, forming a pattern more or less like that depicted in the illustration at Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these
