The BUTTERFLY is from 
China : its general colour is a reddifh 
orange, variegated with fcollops of black 
and yellow round all the wings : 
through the middle of each wing paffes 
a bed of black, filled with white fpots 
of an oval form : there are alfo fome 
other fpots and fhadings of black on 
the wings, belt delcribed by the figure. 
As the under fide of this fly differs 
little from the upper, except in being 
fainter-coloured, I have omitted giving 
any figure of it. I take it to be a non- 
defcript. 
The above-defcribed bird I received 
from my friend Mr. William Bartram ; 
who fays, that in the month of April 
they, appear in Penfilvania, where they 
are only paffengers to the northward, 
being feen with them but for a few days : 
they are obferved to feed on infers. 
This bird hath not, to my knowledge, 
been either figured or defcribed till 
now.

Le PAPILLON vient de la 
Chine : il eft en general d'un couleur 
d'orange rougeatre , varie de fefions jaunes 
et noin autour des ailes : atr avers le 
milieu, de chaque aile> pajfe un fond de 
noir rempli de inches blanches de figure 
ovale : il y a encore d y autre s t aches et 
nuances de noir fur les ailes , que la 
figure exprime mieux qiion ne pent les 
deer ire. Le dcjjbus de ce papillon dijfere 
peu du deft'uSy excepte que les couleurs en 
font plus pales : je nen ai point donne de 
de figure . Je crois quil riavoit point 
encore ete deer it.
