It is singular that under scales [[image - vertically elongated oval]] & [[image - circular oval]] occur in company so often.

Found two [[image - elongated oval]] that had been eaten into [[image - elongated oval with part missing indicating it had been eaten]] by the lepid. larva. Therefore, must have been in that state since summer of 1863, when lepid. larva  existed.
