 Wheat Sheaf Inn, has found in his garden four very peculiar caterpillars. 

 They are about 3 inches long, about 1 inch in circumference, and have 8 

 feet. The head is something like that of a cockatoo. The caterpillars 

 have a short tail of a bright green, and are striped round the body." I 

 have also had brought to me three of the somewhat alarming looking
