ANNUAL REPORT OF NEW-YORK 
CHERRF. LEAVES. 
blackish prickly horns, a row of small white prickly warts along 
each side of the back, and the head white and covered with small 
prickles; its pupa hanging with its head downwards, on the 
under side of a limb or leaf, in a week or ten days giving out a 
butterfly having bright tawny orange wings with black veins and 
margins and a narrow black band across the middle of the hind 
pair, the black border having a single row of white dots. Width 
2.75 to 3.40. Abbot says the larva feeds on different species of 
cherry, but it is much oftener met with on willows, and I have 
also found it on poplar. 
§3, Clyton butterfly, Apatura Clyton, Boisduval. (Lepidoptcra. Nym- 
phalidse.) 
A worm nearly 1.05 long and as thick as a goose quill, thickest 
in the middle, pale green with four light greenish yellow stripes, 
the top of its head having two yellow spines with branching 
prickles; its pupa hanging from the under side of a limb with its 
head downwards; the butterfly with blackish brown wings, tawny 
orange on the basal half of the fore pair, beyond which is two 
rows of small olive yellow spots and near the hind edge a narrow 
yellowish band broken towards its inner end. Width 2.20. I 
have never met with this in the State of New-York. It occurs 
through the southern States on the cherry and other trees of the 
same family. 
84. American lappet-moth, Gastropacha Americana, Harris. (Lcpiclop- 
tera. Bombycidas.) 
The latter part of summer, a cylindrical worm when feeding 
by night, but by day broad and flat, pressed to the limb and resem¬ 
bling a tumor of the bark, 2.50 long, ash-gray varied with whitish 
spots and having two transverse velvety red streaks anteriorly; 
its pupa in a cocoon also resembling a slight swelling upon the 
limb, of the same colors with the bark; the moth appearing in 
May, its wings deeply notched along their hind and inner m.u - 
gins, reddish brown, both pairs crossed by a broad whitish band 
which has a wavy dark reddish line upon each side. Width l- ; >° 
to 1.90. See Harris’s Treatise, p. 293. [Note. — This is the same 
with No. 30. The repetition was not discovered till it was in type, 
too far to cancel the error,]
