between the first two branches of the great median vein of the fore 
wings; the hind wings have also a spot near the costal margin, and 
two patches on the disc beyond the middle. On the underside, the 
wings are brown, shaded along the apex and hind margins with 
paler purplish and brownish clouds ; the various pale markings are 
here only partially apparent, the bar across the hind wings being 
much narrowed, and the discoidal spots on these wings as well as 
the subapical dot of the fore wings being obsolete. The neck is 
marked with four minute white spots. 
The plant figured in plate 48, is the Clerodendron splendens 
(G. Don), a native of Tropical Africa. 
“-The fall of kings, 
The rage of nations, and the crush of states, 
Move not the man, who, from the world escaped, 
In still retreats and flowery solitudes, 
To Nature’s voice attends, from month to month 
And day to day, through the revolving year; 
Admiring sees her in her every shape, 
Feels all the sweet emotions at his heart, 
Takes what she liberal gives, nor thinks of more.” 
THOMSON.
