THE YUCCA MOTH AND YUCCA POLLINATION. BY C. V. RILEY, PH. D. PART I. Introductory. Twenty years have nearly passed since the first announcement of the method of pollination of our Yuccas by the little white Lepidopteron which I christened Pronuba yuccasella. The curious facts connected with its structure and life habits and its intimate relation with the Yuccas; the ease with which it is confounded with the Bogus Yucca Moth, found in the same flowers, but possessing no power of pollination; the confusion which the facts have caused in the minds of other observers; the criticism and discussion which have followed the observations; and the opinions of others, often based on erroneous observations and conclusions--have resulted in a number of articles, scattered through a number of publications. My friend, Professor Trelease, has repeatedly urged me to put together a consecutive statement of the facts in the case, feeling that such a statement would prove useful to botanists and entomologists alike. It would seem, indeed, eminently appropriate to publish such a recapitulation in the Annual Report of the Missouri Botanical Garden, in which, while its founder was still living, many of the original observations, both by Engelmann and myself, were made. The present article will fall, naturally, into two parts, the first a more popular recapitulation of the facts in reference to Pronuba yuccasella and Yucca pollination, in which will be repeated, almost verbatim, the earlier accounts as given in the third volume of the Transactions of the St. Louis Academy of Sciences and in my Fifth and Sixth Reports on the insects of Missouri, and elsewhere. In the second portion will be transcribed from my notes some unpublished details not only in reference.<
