CHINESE BROWN BUTTERFLY. 
All we know of this handsome Fly, is the 
httle which Edwards gives us to accompanv 
the figure originally published by him. Even 
the great Linnaeus, in his Catalogue of Latin 
Names to Edwards's Birds, 8cc. has entirely 
omitted this obje£l. 
What Edwards says, is merely descriptive, 
and is literally as follows — 
The Brow^n Butterfiy is from China. 
It's upper side is of a dark dusky-brown. The 
upper wings have each a large black spot, 
or eve, containing two small white spots 
within them : these black spots are partly en- 
compassed by orange-colour. Tlie under 
wings have small black spots round their bor- 
ders, with light and whitish dots in their mid- 
dles. The under side of the Fly is dusky, in- 
clining to a rose-colour, variegated with lighter 
and darker parts, and has some small dusky 
rings."
