WALKING LEAF. 
above three inches long, and an inch and half 
broad." 
To this we shall, for the present, onlv add, 
that the Cimex Paradoxus, since discovered bv 
Dr. Sparniann, at the Cape of Good Hope, 
is evidently a species of the Walking Leaf ; 
but so differing from this of Edwards in it's 1 
form, which is also perfe61:, that we shall take 
a future opportunity of presenting the figure, 
with v/hat Dr. Sparmann has said on the sub- 
■ je£l, who does not appear to have been ac- 
quainted with our Walking Leaf. In the 
mean time, it may not be im. proper to remark 
that, thoufrh discovered while retreatlner from 
the intolerable heat of the sun, it appeared 
like " a little withered, pale, crumpled leaf, 
eaten, as it were, by caterpillars.'* 
The Editors of the Encvclopsdia Britan- 
nica mention this, as the discovery of a new 
and vcrv peculiar species of the Bug, bv Dr. 
Sparniann: appearing, also, to be unappri/.cd 
of the ^\'alking Leaf, notwithstanding it has 
been so gencrallv known for more than half a 
century. |
