on the 15th of June 1869, I obtained several Thecla larvæ by beating over an umbrella the branches of some small oak trees growing in a cemetery about two miles west of London. Not having met with them before I at once took the follorving description : Length, ·40 in., onisciform. Head small, pale greenish-yellow with a minute black dot on each side. Mandibles pale brown, with a faint whitish patch immediately above them. Body above yellowish-green, streaked above with yellowish-white, and thickly covered with fine, short, white hairs ; second segment of rather a darker shade of green than the rest of the body.

On the 6th of June 1903, we found a Thecla caterpillar unknown to us feeding openly upon the berries of Vaccinium corymbosum. Its general colour was bright yellowish-green, which served to render it comparatively inconspicuous while feeding in the midst of a cluster of the unripe fruit. A faint, draker, dorsal stripe and a very minute coral-red spot in the middle of each segment, just above the lateral fold, were the only markings. The head was of a uniform light brown, and the body was clothed with short pile. Length, 12 mm.

Eggs.—Oblong, covered with hexagonal depressions and bright green in color. Length 0.6 mil.; width 0.3 mil. Duration of egg stage 12 days.Young Larva.—Length 2 mil.; head twice as wide as the body, round and deep ochre yellow; body dull yellowish green with a faint paler stigmatal stripe.Mature Larva.—Body of uniform thickness, deep green with a narrow sub-dorsal and stigmatal white stripe, and a dorsal greenish-white hair line; dorsal space pale green; ventral space yellowish green. Head brownish green with a lateral white stripe which is a continuation of the sub-dorsal stripe of the body. Length at rest 25 to 26 mil.; when crawling, 26 to 27 mil. Food plant, Pinus strobus. Duration of larva stage, 35 to 40 days. Described from 57 specimens.

The Body ◽  

Length .50 of an inch, elliptical, as is the usual shape of the Lymacodes group, nearly .20 of an inch high and about the same width. The dorsum has four lines of purplish black alternating with white, and bordered outside with yellowish white or pale yellow. The region of the subdorsal line is a bright vermillion ridge with yelrowish white tubercles arising from joints 2, 3, 4, 7, 10 and 12, those on joint 2 moderately short, but those on joints 4 to 12 are nearly one fourth of an inch long; all of them spiny. There are short bunches of spines on the intervening joints, as it were representatives of missing tubercles. In the subdorsal space are four scarlet lines alternating with lines of yellowish white, the middle yellowish line instead of being continuous, consists of alternate blotches of vermilion and yellowish white. The substigmatar line is vermilion, bordered as the subdorsai with pale yellow, and this also has its row of yellowish white spiny tubercles, each about one sixteenth of an inch long. Below this is a single dark purple line bordered each side with a lighter shade, and below this a vermilion line or rather a series of tubercles without spines in place of the prolegs. Legs 6, no prolegs, but the under side of the body consisting of a muscular pad upon which the insect glides along instead of walking. Head brown, retractile when at rest into the joint back of it.

In contrast to the red electroluminescence emission frequently observed in porphyrins based OLED devices, the present devices exhibit a nearly white emission with greenish yellow, yellowish green and blue green hues.

Larva, I example–Body smooth, thick and uniform to the 11th segment, from which it tapers abruptly to the end. Cinnamon brown; a large sub-dorsal, velvety, dark brown shade on the 4th, 5th and 11th rings, and on each of the remaining rings, except the three first and last one, is a dorsal curved line, and two small roundish spots of the same color; two larger, square, dark brown dorsal spots edged with yellowish-white, on the first ring.Head roundish, as wide as the body.

A new vital marking procedure was devised, studied, and applied to the phenomenon of hydra column tissue movements. The method involves injecting colloidal carbon (India ink) into the ectodermal epithelium of hydra. The carbon is taken up specifically by epithelial cells and packed into lysosome residual bodies. Each marked cell is then identifiable by its aggregated carbon particle, which appears as a black dot; this is passed to a daughter cell during cell division. Using this method to stain vitally the ectoderm of the green hydra, Chlorohydra viridissima, whose endodermal cells were marked by symbiotic algae, the relative movements of ectoderm and endoderm along the body column were analysed. Ectoderm and endoderm move in different directions or at different rates in the top quarter of the gastric column, but move together in the lower part of the column. This indicates that some epithelial cell movements involve cells migrating relative to the mesoglea; other movements involve translocation of the entire body wall, including ectoderm, mesoglea and endoderm.

Macroxyela ferruginea.—Larva is about 1.5 cm. long and caterpillar-like, green with yellowish-white markings, prolegs on every abdominal segment, anal area smooth and concolorous with the body antennæ six-jointed. Feeds on Ulmus mericana.Head green; antennæ green, except three brown distal joints and a brown ring around the middle of the second and third joints; mandibles rufous at the tips; ocelli black. Body green, with the following parts yellowish-white; two dorsal strpies, a substigmatal line extending along the substigmatal fold of skin from the head to about the third or fourth abdominal segment and the tubercles; a ventral line of pearly white extending from head to 4th abdominal segment.

Action of Acids on Chlorophyll . Every one who has worked with chlorophyll must he familiar with the peculiar effect produced on the addition of acids to its solutions. If an alcoholic solution be taken, the colour of the solution changes when an acid is added from bright green to yellowish-green, and the spectrum at the same time undergoes alteration. After standing some time the solution gives a dark green deposit, which, after separation from the greenish-yellow liquid, shows when dissolved in boiling alcohol or ether, the spectrum of so-called “acid chlorophyll.”

Craterellus luteus sp. nov. is described from China. It is characterized by a light yellow to greenish yellow pileus, white to yellowish white hymenophore, broad basidiospores and lack of aromatic odor. Detailed morphological description, photographs and comparisons with phenetically similar taxa are provided.
