THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE EARLY SPRING BLUES

Extract

The simple fact which Mr. W. H. Edwards published in this journal last May has thrown great doubt over the relationship of all the American species of Cyaniris. From eggs laid in September, 1874, by C. Pseudargiolus, he reared in the following February C. violacea. From this fact he is led to conjecture that in W. Virginia, where his experiments were made, C. neglecta may prove to be a goneutic form of the same species, reducing the entire series in that district to one.
