debilis and Boehmeria cylindrice, the former little plant being 

 preferred. Both these plants occur in the cultivated land or along 

 roads, and are not seen in the hammock. Clearly this butterfly 

 has increased by the advent of cultivation. 



Pyrameis huntera Fab. Several of the larvae on Gnap- 

 halium purpureum were sent me by Mr. Kinzel after I had left 

 Palm Beach. I did not see any butterflies and the species is, per 

 haps, not to be counted in the winter fauna. 



/ Junonia coenia Hiibn. Common, often seen by dozens in 1890 ; 

 only one seen in 1900. I did not find what plant this butterfly 

 feeds on at Lake Worth, and do not know why they should have 

 so nearly disappeared. 



Anartia jatrophce L. A few examples seen in 1900. The 

 species is rather rare. An examination of all the plants of Ja- 

 tropha stimulosa that were seen failed to show any trace of the 

 larva. 



Eunia monima Cr. One specimen seen in 1900 sitting on 

 the trunks of trees in the bench hammock. The species is both 

 shy and rare. 



Neonympka sosybius Fab. A few specimens were seen flying 

 in a shaded road through the beach hammock. 



Libythea bachmanni Kirtl. A specimen w T as taken in 1890. 



Thecla cecrops Fab. One example was taken in 1900, several 

 in 1890. 



Thecla melinus Hiibn. One example. 



Lycwna crmmon Luc. Abundant ; the larvae feed on certain 

 leguminous plants. 



Larva. Elliptical, flattened, the ends, especially posteriorly, obliquely 

 depressed; dorsum arched, subventral fold distinct; subventral region 

 contracted; incisures well marked, deep, the segments short. Green, 

 minutely densely pubescent, the granules stellate with central brownish 

 setce and surrounding pale ones, the setae very finely spiculate. Skin be 

 tween minutely frosted. Coloration rather various ; a white line along 

 apex of subventral fold on joints 3 to 13, edged with diffuse reddish on both 

 sides, consisting of reddish granules; a dorsal dark brownish red line, dif 

 fuse, widened on the posterior parts of the segments, widest on the thorax, 

 consisting of brown granules on a sordid grayish ground. A broad promi 

 nence below the spiracle on joint 12 on the upper aspect of the subventral 

 fold, with a central circular area containing an eversible, radiate gland. 

 Head small, elongate, brownish, eyes black; withdrawn under joint 2. 

 Another example was green, white granular, the dorsal vessel darker, the 

 sides obliquely shaded in paler; a whitish subventral line on the fold. The 

 cervical shield is an impressed triangular area, pointed before. An im 

 pressed bar in the dorsal incisure 11-12.
