but its body, which is about six inches in 
length, is most beautifully marked by six 
stripes or bands passing around the 
middle, the head and tail being of a light 
colour: it moves by means of six feet. 
The curious flock to see it, but as yet 
none have been able to give it a name. 
It is kept alive by Mr. Chapman for the 
purpose of ascertaining its character, and 
for the gratification of those who may be 
interested in such matters.” — W. Jef-

Leucophasia Sinapis. — I have had so 
many applications for this insect that my

I have not time to answer all the letters 
1 have received. I will return all boxes 
as soon as possible. — Robeut Har-

spoonful of rum before using it.]
