to conclude that it is a noCturnal animal, that it becomes 
benumbed by candle-light, that it lives in wood, and 
prefers new-built houfes, See. After the end of February, 
I never faw any more. The laft which I caught I put 
into a box, and left confined there for a day or two. One 
evening, going to look at it, and happening to (land be¬ 
tween the light and the box, fo that my fliadow fell upon 
the infeCl, I obferved to my great aftoniftiment the globes 
of the antennae, like two lanterns, fpreading a dim phof- 
phoric light. This Angular phenomenon railed my cu- 
riofity ; and, after having examined it feveral times that 
night, I refolved to repeat my refearches the following 
day; but the animal, being exhaufted, died before the 
morning, and the light dilappeared. And afterwards, 
not being able to find any more fpecimens, I was pre¬ 
vented from afeertaining the faCt by reiterated experi¬ 
ments at different times; which I therefore mull recom¬ 
mend to other naturalifts who may have an opportunity 
ofvifiting Sierra Leone, requelling that they would par¬ 
ticularly inquire into this curious circumftance. 
“I fnall now only add fome few remarks, fiiowing in 
what manner this new fpecies differs from the old one. 
Not being quite fo broad, it looks as if it were longer, 
and more Cylindrical ; it is alfo of a lighter or chefnut 
colour, afld all over very gloffy. The head is larger, but 
its annular bale part fmaller, and contracted : it is fur- 
nilhed with a little horn in the middle, between the eyes, 
which is ftraight, conic, and tipped with a tuft of carti¬ 
laginous hairs: the clypeus is only depreffed, and the ju¬ 
gular triangle wider : the eyes are large, and very evi¬ 
dent ; thofe of the male black, though in a certain light 
appearing greenilh ; but thofe of the female are like 
pearls, or as if they were covered with a cryltalline mem¬ 
brane : the angles of the brim of the focket are fmall and 
rounded at the top, and the hinder one lower than the 
eye. The pivots of the antennae are not fo difcernible as 
in the former fpecies, being like the furrounding parts in 
colour: the under joint is without any hairy papilla, or 
wart: the upper joint or clava is of the fize of the head, 
quite globular, and refembles an inflated bladder, being 
almoft pellucid, and of a light flelh-colour: the keel is 
nothing more than a railed line, finilhing on the vertex in 
only one chefnut-brown tubercle, covered with cartila¬ 
ginous hairs: behind there is a little conical (Lining hook, 
of the fame colour and with the fame fort of hairs bend¬ 
ing outwardly, being of equal length with the horn on 
the head, but narrower : the pedicle is Ihort, ftraight, 
and cylindrical. The interior palpi, furnilhed with very 
vifible hinges, are a little thicker towards the top, but 
look in fome directions as if they were filiform : the man¬ 
dibles have large hinges, and the fuperior flieath almolt 
as long as the inferior one, and nearly cylindrical. The 
thorax is of the fame breadth with the head, and not very 
uneven, the two parts being feparated by a furrow only 
on the iides and underneath, the foremoll above and on 
the fides refembling an annular fegment, and the hinder 
one impreffed in the middle with a mark fomewhat like 
two fmall diverging wings of a blackilh filvery colour. 
The elytra are (horter than the abdomen, and minutely 
punftated : the under wings are of a Alining and change¬ 
able violaceous colour, and not very'dark : the abdomen 
has the terminal fegment a little convex, and in the fe¬ 
male more fo than in the male : underneath, the third 
and laft fegments are darker than the others, the legs are 
all of equal length ; the tarfi longer than thofe of the 
Paulus microcephalus, and have both the joints and the 
claws much more diftinCl.” Linn. Tranf. iv. 243.—This

with a brown line. This is fuppofed to be the Cerocoma

5. Paufus ruficollis, the red-necked paufus : black ; 
thorax and ftreak on the flieils ferruginous. Suppofed to 
be the C. ruficollis of Fabricius.

PAU'TRE (Antony le), an eminent French architect, 
was born at Paris in 1614. He diftinguiflied himfeifby his 
talte in the decoration of buildings, which, though 
fomewhat heavy, was grand and majeftic. Several edi¬ 
fices from his defigns were ereCled in the capital and its 
environs, of which the mod noted were the wings and 
cafcade of St. Cloud, the church of the nunnery of Port- 
royal, and the hotels of Gevres and Beauvais. He was 
appointed architect to monfieur, the king’s brother, and 
finally firft architect to the king. He was a member of 
the Academy of Architecture from its firft inftitution ; 
and publilhed a w’ork on that art, entitled, “ Les Oeuvres 
d’ArchiteClure d’Antoine lePautre,”of which the firft 
edition appeared in 1652. He died in 1691. 
John le Pautre, the elder brother of the preceding, 
was an eminent defigner and engraver, and underftood the 
decoration of pleafure-houfes. His engraved plates 
amount to 1000, and ferved for lludies to the ablell artills 
in France. His compofitions are overcharged with 
fculptures and architectural ornaments, which prove 
that his fertility was fuperior to his tafte. He died in 
168a. 
Peter le Pautre, born in 1660, was fon to the ar¬ 
chitect. His genius led him to (culpture, which he ftu- 
died during fourteen years at Rome. On his return he 
was employed in feveral public works, of which the molt 
celebrated is a group of Eneas bearing Anchifes on his 
flroulders, and holding Afcanius in his hand, which was 
placed in the garden of the Tuileries. His performances 
difplay much fire and imagination, but are fometimes in- 
correCt. He died in 1744, at the age of eighty-four.

PAUW (N. de), a German canon, diftinguilhed hin.felf 
by his phiiofophical writings, of wdiich the principal 
were “ Recherches Philofophiques fur les Americains, 
les Egyptiens, et les Chinois,” in two vols. 1768; and. 
“ Recherches Philofophiques fur les Grecs,” two vols. 
1787, reprinted at Paris in feven volumes, 8vo. “ In 
thefe works,” fays his biographer, “ there are much 
learning and ingenuity, but joined with a bold fpirit of 
conjecture, and a difpofition to contradict all received 
notions.” They were very popular at the time of their 
appearance, but have loft a great part of their original re¬ 
putation. The author was in high reputation with Fre¬ 
derick the Great, as one of the free (peculators of the 
time, and was, of courfe, obnoxious to the clergy. His 
private character was excellent. He died at Xanton, 
near Aix-la-Chapelle, in 1799. Anacharfis Cloots, fa¬ 
mous at the commencement of the French revolution, 
was his nephew.
