NEW- YORK SWALLOW-TAIL. 
This large and very beautiful Butterfly* 
though evidently a native of the place from 
whence it derives it's name, is also found in 
several parts of the West Indies, as well as 
North America : nor is it, indeed, very dissi-

Tail are long, the knobs at their extremities 
being remar^kahly large. The head, thorax^ 
and abdomen, are black. None of this spe-^

black about a quarter of an incli broad ; in

yellow, one on each membrane, xldjoiuing 
to the upper or se6lor-cdge, there are four 
large Uack spots ; and that whicli is near tlie 
tliorax, ciossing the superior wing, extends 
downward through the interior, growing n:iv- 
lower, and indeed losing itself in a misiv 
poiiu,
