In addition to the shore birds enumerated above three or four 

 examples were shot of a bird which to me appeared to be identical 

 with the European dunlin {Tringa variabilis.) They were in 

 summer dress. I was surprised to find so many of these birds 

 still in their summer plumage at this time of the year, when I 

 should have imagined that they would have been in their winter 

 dress. 



List op Lepidoptera observed at Claremont Islands. 



lihopalocera. 



Tachyris Ada. Only one example seen, but traces of their 

 larvpe were very apparent upon a shrub with light pea green and 

 slightly pubescent sub-ovate leaves, possibly a species of Capparis. 

 In December last I bred many examples of this butterfly from 

 larvae found upon a similar shrub, at Port Moresby, New Guinea, 

 This species, I believe, has not before been recorded from 

 Australia. 



Elodina. Sp. A pair, 



Terias hecabe. Common, flying about a pretty kind of vetch. 



Callidryas crocale. A male and female, in fine condition, were 

 captured, 



Lyccena. Sp, Very numerous, flying about a leguminose 

 plant, (See remarks in body of paper.) 



Lyccena plaiissa. Flying with above, but scarce, 



Lyccena cnejus. Not common, 



Lyccena. Sp. A very distinct species, and unlike anything I 

 have yet seen from Austi'alia. It was apparently only just 

 coming out, for I only caught three — two males and a female — 

 and they were in very perfect condition. 



Precis zelima. Several. 



Hypolimnas lasinassa. Several. 



Ismene exclamationis. Several. 



Pamphila angiades. Common. 



Apaustus agraulia. Common.
