 Skinner of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia for 

 devoting a number of his precious hours to helping the writer to consult 

 the classic collections contained in that justly famous institution, 

 where is preserved, among other things, a set of the insects of Cuba 

 named by the late Dr. Gundlach who was in his day the leading

 The collection contains twenty-three males and twenty-three females 

 taken at various places from May 6 until August 30, 1912. Many 

 of the specimens are dwarfed, the smallest male and female having 

 an expanse of only 55 mm. The largest male has an expanse of 65 mm. 

 and the largest female of 78 mm. The dwarfs appear to have been 

 taken at the beginning of the rainy season in May and June and the 

 larger specimens in August. The latter are somewhat brighter in 

 color than the former. In form, markings, and color the specimens 

 do not noticeably dififer from individuals coming from other Antillean 

 islands, and from Arizona and Mexico.
