not with \t\. liii. f. '249 — 251. of Hiibncr, that bcinp evidently a diHtinct species, 

 with silvery pupils to the ocelli, 8ic.) and Hi. Polydaina are identical, the 

 latter being a mere variety of the other : and as tlie former appellation (which 

 originated in the Weiner Verzeiclmis, without any descrijjtion,) has been suc- 

 cessively applied to Hi. Davus, Hero, &c. by different authors, from the im- 

 possibility of deciding to which it ought strictly to be applied, I propose re- 

 taining Mr. Haworth's name of Polydama (notwithstanding its orthography) 

 to the indigenous species, w^hich docs not ajtpcar to be described by the con- 

 tinental naturalists as a variety of Hi. Davus ; the employment of the name 

 Typhon in lieu of Tiphon being equally objectionable with that of Iphis.

 down each side, and a darker green line on the back : it feeds on the fox-tail 

 grass." — Mr. Weaver.

 tire du cabinet de M. Gigot d'Orcy. II I'a re^u d'Angleterre, coinme une 

 espccc naturelle a ce royainne" ! A curious fact, as there are certainly not 

 more than two specimens which are supposed to have been caught in England, 

 in the indigenous collections.

I must not conclude my account of the Papilionaceous insects of Britain without 

 alluding to the following, which are stated by Engramelle to have iKi-n cap- 

 tured in England ■ although both appear to be American ; and, instcatl of 

 being indigenous to this country, they are, Fbelieve, natives of New Englan.l, 

 in North America.
