54 Dr. G. B. Longstaff on some 



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 archippus, Fabr. 3 ^, 1 $. Rather common in 

 the outskirts of Scarborough ; one specimen at Cocoa 

 Wattie. Those taken resemble the specimens from the 

 mainland, though one individual, a ^, approached Jamaican 

 specimens in colouring, 



Euptychia hermes, Fabr. (eamerta, Cram.). 5. Abundant 

 at Cocoa Wattie. 



Euptychia hesione, Sulz. 6. Common at Cocoa Wattie. 



I have taken this species and the following flying during 

 rain. 



Heliconius Tiydara, 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 guarica, Reak., though that is 

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

 conditions. 



Precis lavinia, Cram. (f. zoncdis, 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 no 

 ocelli on the upper surface, and only faint indications of 

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

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

 specimens would probably be called by Mr. Godman 

 coenia, Hlibn., and by West Indian entomologists 

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

 recent rearrangement of the splendid series at South 

 Kensington. 



Anartia j a trophy, Linn. 3. On the coast, not common. 

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

 the mainland form. 



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

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



* Godman and Salvin, " Butterflies of St. Vincent, Grenada, 

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