This is a local fpecies : it is very abundant in fome marfhy places 

 in Lancashire : but we have not learnt that it has been taken in any 

 other part of the kingdom. Many of the curious in London are 

 particularly indebted to Mr. Phillips, of Mancheiter, for enriching 

 their cabinets with Papilio Hero / for, though it is a plain Infeft, it 

 js efleemed for its rarity.
