Habitat in Manilla. 



The above species is very variable in size and coloui-, and 

 sevei'al specimens differ considerably in form : I have therefore 

 named it Proteus ; some of the varieties are blue, green, golden, 

 and bronzed ; they were brought to this country from the Manilla 

 Isles by Mr. Cumming, and appear to be exceedingly abundant 

 as well as variable. It is probable that two or three species may 

 be confounded under the name of Proteus.
