one of the plants with a forking frond.  We reached O.G. about

<s>October</s> November 2, 1901.  A trip to Brooklyn and vicinity with
B.[othe], in search for leaves.  We left home at 1 P.M.  In our search we
found a green caterpillar, that has assumed a wonderful protective
coloring.  The creature is but 2 or 2½ in. long.  <s>Close</s> Near the fore
part of its body on each side are two large shaded portions
which look very much like eyes, particularly so when the
insect assumes the attitude it generally does when disturbed.
In this attitude it <s>throw</s> raises the fore part of its body, <s>contracting
certain its body so as to</s> at the same time making this portion somewhat
broader than the rest of the body.  In this attitude the brown
spots are in the right position for eyes and and we would
think quite a formidable looking reptile was ready to spring
upon <s>you</s> him.  At the same time it emits a disagreeable <s>oder</s> odor.
