BAMBOO WALKING-STICK. 
EfDWARDS, who originally figured this 
curious insect, has simply denominated it, the 
Second Walking-Stick ; to distinguish it from 
one which he had before described, which we 
have also copied, and which is clearly of a 
different species. In conformity to what we 
there suggested, we have prefixed the appella- 
tion of Bamboo ; the body of the animal con- 
siderabiy resembling that well-known species 
of Cane. 
From their apparent affinity to the Locust, 
these inse6ls are classed, by Edwards, with 
that family : they are, perhaps, a conne6ling 
link between the two genera, in the great and 
wonderful chain of animated existence ; but 
we are too little acquainted with them, to pro= 
nounce decidedly on the subject. 
We have, from Edwards, to accompany this 
figure, but a very few words of description— 
" It has," he observes, the appearance of 
ears. The upper body is thorny i the lower^ 
jointed.
