WALKING-STICK INSECT. 
greenish brown colour; "though I apprehend 
that they are at first greener, and change gra- 
dually with age and the seasons, so as always 
to be nearly the colour of the earth, grass, or 
shrubs, on which thev live. Tiiere are many 
different species of this insect, both in the 
old-discovered world and in America. Pe- 
tiver, in his Gazcphvlacium, has given a 
figure of a species different from mine; which 
he calls, a Small Brasilian Quill Locust, 
called there Arumatia. It is greenish, with 
spotted legs: the body is like a birchen twig, 
loner and slender. Marcgrave has oriven two 
different species of this insect. See his Na- 
tural History of Brasil, page 251." 
This insect came from the Cape of Good 
Hope, and was about an inch longer than is 
represented in our figure.
