owned, that, in countries where the climate and luxuriance of the 

 foil contribute to enrich the juices of the plants, on which the 

 Infeas are nourifhed, they are larger, and their colours more vivid 

 than any of the fame kind produced in the northern countries of 

 Europe. 



Several years fince, Mr. FrancilJon, of Norfolk-ftreet in the 

 Strand, had a living fpecimen of this Infecl brought to him: it was 

 taken in Bunhill -fields burying-ground ; and is frill preferved in his 

 cabinet. 



We have heard of other fpecimens being taken in this country ; 

 but can only quote one inftance with confidence, namely an example 

 taken at Eltham in Kent, and preferved in the cabinet oi Dr. Latham.- 

 Specimens oi this fpecies occur in moll collections of Britilh Infecls, 

 but thefe are generally natives of Germany. 



Roefel has given a figure of this Sphinx, with its larVa and pupa; 

 and, as we could never reafonably expeft to meet with it in thefe 

 Hates in England, correct copies of his figures are given in Plate J 91. 

 The works of Roefel are not in the hands of many ; and, we are 

 perfuaded, that Plate may be, therefore acceptable to trioft of our 

 readers. 



Sphinx Celerio is found on the vine.
