We went into camp suirovmded by scattering cane huts. 

 Sugar cane is raised here by the Indians, also coffee, 

 bananas, pineapples, coca, and some tobacco. We remain- 

 ed here three weeks and were well paid for our trouble. 

 Butterflies not previously seen were taken along the streams, 

 but our best collecting was about human excrement and de- 

 caying camp refuse. We were much annoyed by swarms of 

 horse-flies, which bit as if human blood was a treat. My 

 Indians were obliged to bandage their feet and hands. We 

 took a number of Caligos here, three species (C. Livius 

 Stgr., C. Ilioneus Cram., and one unidentified), and also some 

 interesting Hesperidae and two Agrias (A. Lugens and A. 

 Xenagoras Hew.) Our stay here would have been pro- 

 longed, but the condition of our larder made it necessary to 

 return, the nearest source of supplies being three and a half 

 days distant, 



THE RETURN. 



I collected a number of desirable species on the way 

 back to La Paz, stopping for days at the best localities, 

 and reached La Paz on October 30th. 



Nothing of especial interest occun-ed on our trip back to 



New York, and I arrived home, much improved physically, 



and a gainer in experience. The trip resulted in some 



thirteen thousand butterflies, among which I trust there are 



many new species. Also one thousand or more dragon-flies, one 



thousand beetles, twelve hundred moths, and several thousand 



other insects, a few land shells, slugs and snails, and Indian 



curios. 



XoTE. — The following is a fairly complete list of species secured near 

 Coroica and the Cochabamba district, during May, June, July and August, 

 as far as I have been able to identify them.
