This fine, very distinctly marked, species of the genus was Bent 

 to the Museum by the late Mr. Plant. I saw a specimen forwarded 

 to Dr. Baird by Sir William Jardine, Bart., the distinguished Scot- 

 tish naturalist ; I have named it in compliment to one who has la- 

 boured so long, so assiduously, and so successfully, in making his 

 favourite subject popular. His edition of White's ' Selborne,' in 

 'Constable's Miscellany, 1 made many a one who read, about 1830, 

 familiar with that delightful observer. His ' Naturalist's Library,' 

 and his more scientific Ornithological, Ichthyological, and PaUeonto 

 graphical works are all highly appreciated. Of late years the Ba- 

 ronet of Applegirth (of that ancient family, the Jardine-) has attended 

 mueh to Entomology. 



This Bpecies has no inconsiderable resemblance to Cerostema mar- 

 gmritifera, Melly, an Indian species figured bj Westwood.
