cally all the specimens shown were taken along a two-mile 

 stretch of jjath, and about half of them in one particular 

 favourite haunt. Practically all were caught flying, there 

 being little or no j)lants in flower except for a plant or two 

 of Eupatorium odoratum (Christmas Bush) near some habita- 

 tions. These plants were evidently past their full attractive- 

 ness, as the only butterflies on them were two S Perrhyhris 

 malenka." The species represented were : —

" The numbers in brackets are the numbers actually caught. 

 In some cases many more specimens might have been taken. 

 Mechanitis polymnia doryssus, Epithomia alpho, Ceratinia 

 euclea and C. fraterna were all common, and it is significant that 

 all these are of the unpalatable subfamily Ithomiinae. 



" Most curiously only one specimen of Lycorea ceres atergatis 

 was seen or taken. No doubt H. anderida estebana would 

 accompany the Lycorea, as in appearance these two would be 

 the closest in pattern and colouring, while the Protogonius 

 would certainly be the next closest. The Lycorea and Pro- 

 togonius fly in much the same way, and when fluttering near
