  Throughout

   common 
  north

  along 
  the 
  shore 
  in 
  Cape 
  May 
  County 
  in

  where 
  its

  plentiful. 
  The

   Belated

  Family 
  PAPIUONID^. 
  

  

  These 
  are 
  the 
  swallow-tail 
  butterflies; 
  all 
  of 
  them 
  of 
  large 
  size, 
  con- 
  

   spicuously 
  marked, 
  the 
  hind 
  wings 
  with 
  a 
  tail-like 
  extension, 
  which 
  gives, 
  

   them 
  their 
  common 
  name. 
  The 
  legs 
  are 
  all 
  complete, 
  fitted 
  for 
  walking, 
  

   and 
  the 
  antennae 
  are 
  situated 
  close 
  together 
  on 
  the 
  vertex. 
  The 
  cater- 
  

   pillars 
  are 
  unique 
  in 
  the 
  possession 
  of 
  a 
  protrusible 
  fleshy 
  process 
  be- 
  

   tween 
  the 
  thoracic 
  segments 
  which, 
  when 
  extended, 
  gives 
  off 
  an 
  intense- 
  

   ly 
  disagreeable 
  odor. 
  These 
  processes 
  are 
  called 
  "osmateria," 
  and 
  are 
  

   supposed 
  to 
  be 
  defensive 
  in 
  character. 
  The 
  chrysalids 
  are 
  girthed 
  at 
  the 
  

   middle 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  fastened 
  at 
  the 
  tail.

  Local 
  throughout 
  the 
  State, 
  but 
  usually 
  only 
  single 
  ex- 
  

   amples 
  at 
  long 
  intervals. 
  The 
  larva 
  feeds

  paw-paw, 
  and 
  wher- 
  

   ever 
  this 
  food 
  plant 
  does 
  not 
  occur 
  the 
  butterfly 
  is 
  a 
  visitor 
  merely.
