April 18 Found numerous larvae (apparently of {Limenitis disippus} [[^ came out May 21 & 2 May 24]] on S. humilis, which had hybernated in cases like pitcher-plant make out of willow-leaf. Lintner (P.E.S.P. II p. 620 supposes it to hybernate in
[[underline]] imago [[/underline]] state. [[^ [[Nar?]] in pupa state]] Apr. 23 Found one similar case on S. cordata, old & empty. Base of leaf always tied to twig with silken cords. Leaf cut thus: [[image]] At this time S. humilis was in flower but [[underline]] no leaves [[/underline]] & larvae were crawling about on the flowers & apparently feeding on them.  May 5 one had gone to pupa. [[^ 4 subsequently by May 15.]] N.B. according to Harris Cynthea Atalanta normally draws leaves together in the same way. [[underline]] [[?]] [[?]] p. 295 [[/underline]]
