This fine Papilio was defcribed by Fabncius from the cabinet of Sir Jofeph Banks, Bart.; and we alfo 
are indebted to that valuable cabinet for the drawing that accompanies this defcription. It is worthy of 
remark that two or three fpecimens only of this butterfly were difcovered by our firfl, circumnavigators, in 
New Holland, when they touched at Botany Bay, and that it does not appear any more of the fame kind 
have been hitherto brought to Europe j neither has it been fince obferved, fo far as we can learn, in any 
other part of that ifland j although it is apparent from the contents of the prefent volume, the Entomo- 
logical productions of that country have not been neglected. We are therefore to etleem ourfelves for- 
tunate in having been able lately to enrich our own colledtion with a beautiful fpecimen of this fcarce 
infedt from the cabinet of the late Mr. Drury, who was prefented with it by Jofeph Banks, Efq. now 
Sir Jofeph Banks, Bart, flrortly after the return of that expedition to England.
