Inhabits Ewreze in gardens and orchards, and is exceedingly 
deftruétive to fiuit and tender leaves. Among the many pe- 
culiarities of thefé animals, the mode by which they conduct 
their amours, is the moft curious and furprifing ; at this feafon 
they make their approaches by difcharging feveral {mall darts 
at each other, which are of a fharp form and of a horny fub- 
ftance. Thefe are contained within a cavity on the right fide 
of the neck, and are launched at each other, with fome degree 
of force, at about the diltance of z inches; till the quiver or 
refervoir is exhaufted, and then a reconciliation takes place, 
and the animals unite. The eggs are perfectly round, and 
about the fize of {mall peas.
