I am indebted to Mr. Cockerell for the specimen collected by 

 Mr. Fawcett. There is another specimen in the British Museum, 

 labelled " Jamaica (Cinchoua), 90.(55, 6.90, VV. Fawcett."

Heer Snellen's opinion on the probable synonymy of gilvidorsis, 

 quoted by von Hedemann (I.e. No. 3), is quite justified, for I had 

 already examined the two types side by side, and had made a note 

 that gilvidorsis, Z., must sink as a synonym of tenuis, F. & 11. 

 Baron von Hedemann has sent me the three specimens which 

 were determined for him by Snellen : two are montis-christi, Wlsm., 

 and the third is pumilio ; there is at present no evidence that 

 gilvidorsis occurs in the West Indies.
