Note 58 — Part I. ON THE SEASONAL DIMORPHISM OF BUTTERFLIES. (continued 2)

Raphael Meldola translation

The experiments upon Papilio Ajax and Phyciodes Tharos, described in this Appendix, were made by Mr. W. H. Edwards (see his “Butterflies of North America;” also the “Canadian Entomologist,” vol. vii. p. 228–240, and vol. ix. p. 1–10, 51–5, and 203–6); and I have added them, together with some hitherto unpublished results, to Dr. Weismann’s Essay, in order to complete the history of the subject of seasonal dimorphism up to the present time.—R.M.
