He wishes to say not all birds, but only the birds of auspices. Pandorus to whom he gave the bow of Apollo. By the bow he indicates the skill in using it. Sitting they made the water white, Now others moved the whole day the thong of their sandal. This comes from an accidental feature; in the first case "they were rowing," in the next "they were running," is to be implied.
"That last one is a Pandorus Sphinx!" he said in great excitement to Kathleen, who had lifted the big glass jar into the lantern light and was trying to get a glimpse of the exquisite moth, whose wings of olive green, rose, and bronze velvet were already beating a hazy death tattoo in the lethal fumes. "A Pandorus! Scott, you've wanted one so much!" she exclaimed, enchanted. "You bet I have.
My specimen was readily identified as Philampelus Pandorus, of which I had no moth, so I took extra care of it in the hope of a new picture in the spring. It had a little flat head that could be drawn inside the body like a turtle, and on the sides were oblique touches of salmon. Something that appeared to be a place for a horn could be seen, and a yellow tubercle was surrounded by a black line.
Pholus pandorus is pretty rare around here. And I say, Kathleen, that wasn't a bad net-stroke, was it? You see I had only a second, and I took a desperate chance." She praised his skill warmly; then, as he stood admiring his prize in the jar which she held up, she suddenly caught him by the arm and pointed: "Oh, quick! There is a hawk-moth over the pinks which resembles nothing we have seen yet!"
She picked up the green-and-rose Pandorus, laid it on its back on a setting-block, affixed and pinned the oiled-paper strips, drew out the four wings with the setting-needle until they were symmetrical and the inner margin of the anterior pair was at right angles with the body. Then she arranged the legs, uncoiled and set the proboscis, and weighted the wings with heavy glass strips.
