PEACOCK BUTTERFLY, 
OF NEW SOUTH WALES, 
The small Peacock Butterfly, represented in 
the figure annexed, is exactly copied from an 
original drawing of the natural size, made in 
New South Wales ; from whence we received 
I it, among numerous other drawings, but unac- 
companied by any name or description. 
That it is of the Peacock family, seems evi- 
dent ; but, though the general colour be of a 
most rich brown, and the entire form of the 
Fly very elegant ; we do not think this Pea- 
cock Butterfly of New South Wales, on the 
whole, equally beautiful with our Common 
Peacock Butterfly. Still, as it is an undoubted 
original, and native of a remote and recently 
discovered country, we have judged it not un- 
worthy a place in our collection.
