No. 22. Junonia Lavinia. Rio de Janeiro ; Callao ; Peru. 

 September, 1872 ; April, 1873. — Woods at Tijuca, near Rio, 

 and also near Callao and Lima. It is frequently seen alight- 

 ing in pathways or bare spots, where it rests with its wings 

 widely expanded and pressed close to the ground. I believe 

 1 took the larvaj of this species near Lima, but they were not 

 full grown, and all perished on board ship, as 1 could not 

 procure their proper food in the immediate neighbourhood of 

 Callao. 



No. 30. Anarlia Amathea. Rio de Janeiro. September, 

 1872. — This pretty species is one of the most common 

 butterflies near Rio, haunting marshy ground in woody 

 places, where dozens of them may be seen flying about 

 together. They are very fond of chasing each other, and 

 usually fly slowly and near the ground, but when frightened 

 Ihey go off" at a very respectable pace. 



No. 31. Eudamus Eurycles. Rio; Callao. September, 

 1872; April, 1873. — A common species. It flies rapidly, 

 after the manner of all skippers, and is found in woods and 

 waste places, where it delights to fly among long grass and 

 low underwood ; consequently the tails soon become damaged. 

 They are very pugnacious, chasing and fighting every other 

 butterfly, no matter its size, that comes within their reach. 



No. 58. Agraulis Vanilla. Rio ; Callao. September, 

 1872; April, 1873, — I only saw half a dozen of this species 

 in a marshy piece of ground near Rio, but at Callao it was 

 very plentiful in grassy meadows. There appears to be no 

 difference whatever between the specimens from each country. 

 The one enclosed is from Rio. 



No. 92. Papilio Archemas. Valparaiso. November, 

 1872. — The largest butterfly found near Valparaiso, and it is 

 common, though local, in the valleys between the hills, and 

 also in the flat country near Vino del Mar and El Salto. It 

 flies fast, is difficult to catch, and is seldom perfect. I have 

 worked out the life-history of this species. The specimen
