The first of these is oblong, the second quadrate,the third oblong (the long way transverse to the winginstead of longitudinal), the first and third nearly twiceas large as the second. The fourth is a little less than Fig. Pamphila Ethlius (natural size). half as large as the fifth, both somewhat trapezoidal,concave on the outer side; the sixth is about the size ofthe fourth, concave on the inside, Hiq outside rounded;the seventh is oblong, rounded outwardly and concaveinwardly.
