IN TIMOR'LAUT. 325 



Northward from Ritabe], our village, the shore of the clianm^l 

 was dotted with detached coral Luulders, on each of which 

 several corpses reposed, whence the most fearful stench used 

 especially after rain, to come down tlie wind. Whether tliis, or 

 the ConvoJvulaceve and creeping FapUionaccpe that flowered in 

 aLundance there, was the attracting cause I cannot say; l)ut 

 certain it is that these most pestiferous spots were our richest 



l^utterfly grounds. Tliere A caught tlie new ILjpohjmnas 



forhesii, Terias laratensis, and among many others two different 

 species, Calliplcea visenda and Chanajya sacerdos — which it was 

 next to impossible to distinguish on the wing from their 

 mimicking each other — both new to seionce, while the lovely 



Ftilojnis icallacu frequented in crowds the fig-trees that over- 

 hung this foetid shore.
