The species enumerated above were collected by Mr. T. S. Bran- 

 degee, in the southern extremity of Baja California, in August and 

 September, 1890. His time being occupied almost exclusively by 

 the^ collection and study of the plants of that most interesting 

 region, the entomological collection consists chiefly, of course of 

 such as came into his possession by favoring chance. 



They coincide almost entirely with specimens received from Ma- 

 zatlan, and furnish another proof that a development of independent 

 botanical types is not always accompanied by an analogous devel- 

 opment of entomological ones. This pecuharity may be observed 

 at every step m biological studies in California where the abundance 

 of botanical monotypes is accompanied by insect forms frequently 

 iden ical with Atlantic and European types, and seldom deviating 

 much from one or the other. 



None of the species above mentioned are identical with those of 

 our State, but several are congeneric. Danais Berenice is so near 

 to our far-spreading D. Plexippus that, although erroneously, it has 

 been considered by some to be a mere variatL of it. Jpoderl 

 cahpnea corresponds to our A. Mor.no and A, Virgulti but mos' 

 of Its relations belong in Mexico and Central Amerif a. 'i:): ^ 

 Hegena is reported from Southern California, although I have not 

 yet seen a specimen captured, there. Lyc.r^a Ilan^o, TerLsJu-
