The habitat of the butterfly is almost

Some observers have recorded rather
remarkable facts concerning the flights
of butterflies. Kent says that he has
frequently seen hosts of white butter
| flies crossing the English channel from
France into England. H. w. Bates
states that at one place in South Amer
| lea he saw eighty different species of
lepidoptera flying about in large num-
| bers. The flights are due. perhaps, in
| a very large measure, to the gregarious
| habits of these insects and not to q
real migrating instinct. Darwin relates
that he saw a butterfly shower ten
miles off the South American coast
| He states that las far as the eye could
reach, even with the aid of the tele
scope. it was not possible to see space
free from butterflies"
Like Abraham's cattle of old, butter
| flies are 'ringed, speckled. spotted and
streaked." besides the white. yellow
and brown They rival the tropica
birds in the beauty and the brightness
