CHINESE SPOTTED TORTOISE 
BUTTERFLY. 
The Chinese Spotted Tortoise Butterfly, re- 
presented in the annexed print, was drawn by- 
Edwards, and is exa<3:ly copied, of it's natural 
size' 
It is a native of China; and Edwards, who 
considered it as a non-descript, gave it the 
same which it bears. 
He decribes it's general colour to be *' a 
reddish orange, variegated with scollops of 
black and yellow round all the wings : through 
the middle of each wing passes a bed of black, 
filled with white spots of an oval form. There 
are also some other spots and shadings of 
black on the wings, best described by the 
.%ure." 
; This ingenious naturalist only adds, that as 
the tinder side of this Fly ditters little from the 
■upper, except in being fainter coloured, he 
has omitted giving any figure of it.
