COLLECTION OF ARTICULATED ANIMALS. 



nelaas (n i), the achilles (11 4), laertes (n 8), 

 hecuba (n i4), and idomeneas (n 21). The spe- 

 cies fromn os 477 to 556 have been collectively 

 designated by the denominations of pearled and 

 chequered: the heliconii are distinguished by 

 their their graceful forms. In the beautiful di- 

 vision of the equites, or butterflies properly so
