self from the foliage of a tree which 1
was examining, ami startled tne by its
resemblance to a small snake. The first
three) segments behind the head Were
dilatable at the will of the insect, and
haI on each side a largo black pupillated
pot. which resembled the rye of the
snake. It was a poisonous or vipcrine
pecioa mimicked, und not an innocuous
snake. This was proved by the imita
tion of kebil scales on the crown, which
was produced by the recumbent feet us
the caterpillar threw iUelf liai kward.
