While we continued here, a negro brought me abeautiful butterfly, which I copied with all the correct-ness I was master of: and avhich I saw since in Ma-dam Merians collection, where it is coloured very fly was a dark blue tinged Avith green, and vari-egated with spots like a peacocks feather, and on eachwing it had a spot of pale yellow; the under part ofthe wings were a charming crimson and purple; thebody a pale red.—The caterpillar is green and yellow; itis crowned with eight horns on the head, and has twoon the tail.
