-delicate, the marginal lines on primaries nearer together, more or less 
-excliding the fulvous spots which, in Cybele, are distinct along the whole 
margin. The margin of secondaries also has an edge line like the 
primaries; the median band is formed of small crescents, separated by 
wide spaces and obsolete on costal margin; and there is no black space 
between the costal and subcostal asin Cybele. On the under side the 
‘silver marginal and costal spots are decided, while in Cybele they are 
usually wanting, or indicated by a few scales only ; the basal color of 
secondaries is cinnamon-brown, and the band is more or less encroached 
on by the ground color; the pyriform spot of third row is cut by the arc 
-as in Cybele, but the smaller spot thus made is edged above with black 
and is in effect a distinct spot. Comparing the females, Cybele is luteous, 
very dark at base, heavily marked with black. Aphrodite is suffused with 
a rich red tint that seems as if in the very texture of the wing, and that 
makes living specimens conspicuous; the under side of primaries is red 
fulvous, of secondaries deep ferruginous, and the band is almost wholly 
-crowded out.” 
“ Atlantis is readily distinguished from Aphrodite by its smaller size, 
-duller color, broad black margins, confluent median band of secondaries 
nd color of same wings below; also by the longer and narrower fore 
wings.”

We received from our esteemed correspondent, W. H. Edwards, Esq., 
a few days since, aletter in which he informed us that he had received 
from Labrador, from Mr. Wm. Couper, specimens of a Papilio which has 
already been several times referred to in our journal. With the writer’s 
consent we have much pleasure in inserting the following note, which has 
just come to hand.—Ep. C. E. 
CoALBURGH, W. VA., 24TH AUG., 1873. 
DEAR SIR,— 
I have taken the Papilio’s from Anticosti from drying blocks, and have 
compared with all the allied species that I had with me; also, have com- 
pared with the description of Brevicauda, Saunders, and I have no doubt 
that the species is a good one and its name is Brevicauda. It is allied to 
Zolicaon and Machaon.
