[Read June Ist, 1898.] 
Prat XeV il. 
IN a former paper* I gave an account of the moths 
belonging to the families Hpiplemidex, Geometridx, Pyra- 
lide and Sesiadx collected in the Lesser Antilles, chiefly 
St. Vincent and Grenada, by Mr. H. H. Smith, the account 
forming one of a series of papers descriptive of the insects 
collected on behalf of the Committee of the Royal Society 
and British Association appointed to explore the fauna 
and flora of the smaller West Indian islands. The present 
paper deals with all the other families of moths except 
the Pterophoride, Tortricide and Tineidx, which will be 
dealt with by Lord Walsingham and complete the sub- 
ject; in addition to the collections of Mr. Smith those 
made in St. Lucia and Dominica by Mr. W. H. Eliott are 
recorded.
