North America* according to Mr. Abbot's obfervations, produces 

 a number of curious fpecics of infecfe, very different from thofe uf 

 England, mofl of them dif|>crfed through the whole country. Of 

 ihefe il appears to |>oflcfs fome in common with South America and 

 the Weft Indies; while others an; more local. Some fpecics agree 

 with Englifli ones, as a few of the Lackey, Tuflbck, and Argus tribes. 

 Several caterpillars, quite different from any found in England, pro-

 Moths; while, on the other hand, caterpillars rdembttng Englifb

Georgia affords almofi every Virginian fpecics, along with many 

 others; yet in the autumn caterpillars arc much more abundant in 

 Virginia than in Georgia. In the lafi-nicntioncd country it is not

In the funimcr many butterflies frequent wet or dump places, in
