when mentioning the flight seen by Sir R. Schomburgh, where they would have been more properly noticed, as 

 probably they were some species of Callidryas. The one occurs in the fourteenth chapter of the second book of the 

 first decade, where he mentions that one day in June, 1494, there came to the ships of Columbus, then off the coast of 

 Cuba, innumerable butterflies, so numerous that they obscured the sky, and continued passing until night, when a 

 sudden storm of rain destroyed them. The second passage is in the nineteenth chapter of the second book of the third 

 decade, where he is relating the various prodigies which preceded the fall of the Aztec empire. Amongst these 

 wonders is recorded a prodigious flight of butterflies and locusts (mariposas y langostas), which continued flying 

 from the east towards the west, and caused great astonishment to the natives, who had never before seen the like. 

 Had the cloud been altogether composed of locusts, it would have been a far more complete augury of what was coming 

 from the east. I find no mention of this occurrence in the chapter on the various preternatural events which took place 

 previously to the conquest of Mexico, commonly placed at the end of Bernal Diaz de Castillo's Historia Verdadera, 

 in which the old soldier details numerous showers of toads and similar wonders ; but I have a faint recollection of some 

 passage of the kind in his history, on which I cannot now put my hand.
