54 Dr. G. B. Longstaff on ftome 



island towards the confines of cultivation, lying about 

 550 feet above sea-level. The wooded banks of a small 

 river and some swampy hollows clothed with coarse grass 

 and thin scrub afforded the best collecting grounds, and 

 yielded, as might have been expected, a somewhat different 

 fauna from that of the coast. It rained heavily on 

 April 8th. 



Anosia arcMppvji, Fabr. 3 ^, 1 $. Rather common in 

 the outskirts of Scarborough ; one specimen at Cocoa 

 Wattic. Tliose taken resemble the specimens from the 

 mainland, tliough one individual, a ^, approached Jamaican 

 specimens in colouring. 



Euptiicliia hermes, Fabr. (cameoia, Cram.). 5. Abundant 

 at Cocoa Wattie. 



Euptycliia hcsione, Sulz. 6. Common at Cocoa Wattie. 



I have taken this species and the following flying during 

 rain. 



Heliconius hydara, Hew. 3 ^, 2 $. Rather common 

 on the river bank at Cocoa Wattie. All the specimens 

 are small, three extremely small ; four of them have the 

 bluish gloss (as in the form f/uarica, Reak., though that is 

 a larger insect) which Mr. W. J. Kaye associates with wet 

 conditions. 



Precis lavinia, Cram. (f. zonnlis, Feld.). 2 $. An example 

 taken near the coast of the dry form, but with the anterior 

 ocellus on the hind-wing very small. (Mr. W. J. Kaye 

 has two very dark specimens from Mexico in which this 

 ocellus is altogether wanting ; in the National Collection 

 there is a specimen from Colombia in which there are 7io 

 ocelli on the upper surface, and only faint indications of 

 them beneath.) The Cocoa Wattie example is "inter- 

 mediate," approacliing the "wet" form. Both the 

 specimens would probably be called by Mr. Godman 

 coinia, Hiibn., and by West Indian entomologists 

 gcnovevcc, Cram. ; I follow Mr. Guy A. K. Marshall's 

 recent rearrangement of the splendid series at South 

 Kensington. 



Anartia jatro2Jhie, Linn. 3. On the coast, not common. 

 Those taken are pale in colour and semi-transparent, of 

 the mainland form. 



Anartia amalthea, Linn. One at Cocoa Wattie. Messrs. 

 Godman and Salvin * say of this species : " Barbados, a

 etc.," Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1896, p. 515.
