Abstract

I notice in the Entomologist, No. 4, some remarks on Melitæa phaeton. I think there is something exceptional in the habits of this species, and I hope the observations of your correspondents may give us light.On 1st May, 1868, one of my young friends in this neighbourhood brought me eleven chrysalids of phaeton, part of which he had found suspended to fence rails, He reported the caterpillars as crawling along the rails, and that he had tried to bring me some of them, but before he could reach me (living four miles distant), all that he had taken had changed to chrysalids. I directed him to search for the food plant.
