Mrs. SLOSSON has sent me a very interesting species as a result of her 

 stay in Florida this Winter. Thecla acis was described by Drury in 1773. 

 The species has remained exceedingly rare in collections in this country, 

 and is wanting in a number of the largest. The locality given by Drury 

 is New York, which is evidently an error. Acis is a West Indian species, 

 and its geographical range is probably not accurately known. Mrs. Slos- 

 son says in regard to it: "I had grown tired of collecting Theclas and 

 finding them all pceas, and was surprised to find these two strangers (acis) 

 in the net. They were fluttering with the others about blossoms and 

 leaves in the hot sunshine on a path through the low scrub quite near the 

 ocean beach at Lake Worth." There is a good description of the species 

 in French's " Butterflies of the Eastern United States. HENRY SKINNER.
