Extract

The American Naturalist for November, 1877, contains on p. 688 the following paragraph:–

“Papilio Cresphontes in New England.–On the 6th of last September Mr. N. Coleman captured in the vicinity of Berlin, Connecticut, the only specimen of this Southern insect ever recorded from New England. As the larva is not known to feed on any other plant than the orange, the butterfly probably hatched from a larva accidentally transported with trees from Florida, or emerged from a chrysalis sent North as a curiosity.”

The writer of the paragraph appears to have mislaid certain pages of recent Entomological literature.
