COMMA.<br />

The chrysalis is pale brownish red, and spotted with gold. It<br />

remains in this state about fourteen days.<br />

Mr. Westwood observes how this species is subject to an<br />

extraordinary variation in the form of its wings, the incision<br />

in the outer margin of the fore wings being in some specimens<br />

so deep that it forms nearly a semicircle, whilst in others it<br />

is scarcely more than a sextant, the other indentations being<br />

equally varied.<br />

I once had a singular variety taken near Doncaster, and<br />

which I gave to J. C. Dale, Esq., in which all the black spots<br />

on the fore wings were run into one large patch.<br />

The plate is from specimens in my own collection.<br />
