SATYRUS BUTTERFLIES. 



These have their wings broad 

 and rounded, and those called Hip- 

 parchians have the wings of a deli- 

 cate brown color, with beautiful 

 eye-spots. They are very com-

 lated to these is the Mountain 

 Butterfly, which is found only on 

 Mount Washington, in New Hamp- 

 shire.
