caterpillars, it may be preferable in the mean time 
to allow them to remain in the situation they occu-

N. Etheocles is a native of Africa, and is found 
chiefly on the coast of Guinea. It is nearly of the 
size of C. Jasius ; the surface greenish-hlaclr, with

on the inner side near its origin. Besides the white 
hand, which is regular and continuous, the under 
wings have a row of white crescents parallel with 
the hinder border, succeeded by a black line, the
