There are many other insects. Some conspicuous for size 

 are orthopterous, and commonly known as walking-stick insects, 

 one species of which, attached to the swamp mahogany, is at 

 least 6 inches long in the $, but has rather small wings, for they 

 do not expand more than 2i inches, hence are more ornamental 

 than useful ; the ^ , however, flies well, and is, for these insects, 

 quite an active creature. 



However, as it would take up considerable time to go further 

 into the entomology of a tea-tree swamp, I draw these very few 

 notes to a conclusion, and would now respectfully draw your 

 attention to the exhibit partly in connection with same, as it 

 unfortunately only represents two orders of insects, the 

 lepidoptera and coleoptera.
