LiMENITis Camilla is the only species of the gemis that has 

 been found in this island, although 4 othei's are inhabitants of 

 Europe : it is celebrated for its graceful flight, and was for- 

 merly tolerably abundant in the neighboui'hood of London 

 during the months of June and July. Mr. Samouelle has 

 seen it in Bedstile Wood near Finchley, and at Birch Wood 

 in Kent : we have heard of its being taken not unfrequently at 

 Coombe Wood ; and a year or two since the Rev. R. Shep- 

 pard captured a considerable number in the vicinity of Ips- 

 wich. The Ggg is said to be unknown ; the caterpillar we 

 have copied from Hlibner, to make our plate more complete, 

 and hope that we have not erred in so doing; but it is possible 

 that it may be the larva of L. Sibilla, for Ochsenheimer and 

 all the German writers following Fabricius, still persist in 

 transposing the names of Limenitis Sibilla and Camilla, al- 

 though Linneus's definition " angulo ani ruhro" identifies the 

 latter species most completely, and proves satisfactorily that 

 our insect is his Camilla. We are aware that his reference 

 to Roesel's figure is incorrect; but surely his description is to 

 be taken in preference to his illustration, which might have 

 been left to a less experienced hand. 



The caterpillars of both insects feed upon the different spe- 

 cies oi Lonicera ; that introduced in the plate is L. Caprifolium 

 (Pale Perfoliate Honeysuckle).
