INSECTS. 



By prof. S. S. HALDEMAN. 



There were but few facilities for collecting, preserving, and 

 transporting insects upon the journey, and those which were 

 brought home are few in number and in bad condition. Under 

 these circumstances. Captain Stansburj has allowed other species 

 to be introduced, which have been collected by Lieutenant Horace 

 Haldeman, U. S. A., chiefly at Fredericksburg and Fort Gates, on 

 the western frontier of Texas ; and by Mr. Richard Kern, in a 

 journey across the plains to Santa F^. In the latter case, the 

 specimens were thrown into bottles of spirits as collected, so that 

 there is nothing to distinguish those which were found upon the 

 route from those of Santa Y6 ; but as the greater part probably 

 appertain to the latter locality, this has been used to Mr. Kern's 

 species. 



tEPIDOPTERA. 



Papilio asterias, Cramer. 



A specimen with the patagia yellow, and forming a continuous 

 lateral yellow line with the spots upon the thorax and head. 



Cynthia cardui, Linnaeus. 



A specimen of this species, which is common in Europe and the 

 United States, and one of the most widely spread species known, 

 occurring in India and Africa. On this continent it has been found 

 among the Rocky Mountains and in California. 



Pieris protodice. 



Deilephila lineata, Fabr.
