This large and very valuable collection of Jamaican species is the second 

 of a series of shipments to the Museum in duplicate, one of each species to 

 be kept here and the other returned, named, to the museum at Kingston. The 

 first can was received in December, 1881. The second can contained 183 

 specimens, all of them in excellent condition and representing many species 

 which will prove additions to our collection. The species are, at present, 

 only partly determined.
