specimen in the cabinet of Mr. Jones: its habitat was then unknown, 

 and it is with regret we must allow, that it is not in our power even 

 now to supply the deficiency. We recollect having seen an example

 cel of insects collected in the interior of Africa, about four hundred 

 miles above Sierra Leona, and we have been inclined to believe 

 upon this recollection that it may possibly be a native of that region 

 of the globe.

 certain families of the Linnaen Sphinges being thickest from the 

 middle towards the end, and terminating in a setaceous point, a cir- 

 cumstance noticed by Fabricius in the words Antennce clava elori' 

 gata, acuta.'''' His description of this species is rather too concise 

 and can scarcely fail to derive some material elucidation from the 

 figures now submitted.
