MORRON BEETLE. 
Of this beautiful Beetle, little more than it's 
existence is known. 
It is a native of New South Wales, but is 
probably scarce ; as our friend, in a residence 
of ten years, saw no other of the species, ex- 
cept that from which the annexed figures are 
delineated. 
It was brought to him, at Sidney Cove, Port 
Jackson, as an obje6l of curiosity, which had 
been found in the interior of the country. 
This gentleman immediately procured an 
exadl drawing to be made; representing, not 
only the upper and under- sides of the Beetle, 
but the covering from which it was originally 
produced. 
That drawing we have copied with the ut- 
most precision, as well in it's markings, as in 
it's tints.
