single specimen . . . not previously noted from any West 

 Indian island." 



Dynamine theseus, Feld. This pretty little butterfly was 

 common both on the coast and inland. It has a rapid 

 gliding flight, but otherwise has some of the habits of a 

 Lycsenid, thus it often settles with its head downwards, and 

 more than once I saw it move its hind-wings rapidly 

 immediately after settling; the insect was, however, too 

 shy to enable me to make out the exact nature of this 

 movement. 



Cystineura cana, Erichs. Two specimens on the coast, 

 and two at Cocoa Wattie. It has a gliding flight. 



Leptotcs (Tariicus) cassins, Cram. 2 ^, 2 ^. Of the 

 mainland form, in which white prevails over blue. Rather 

 common along the coast ; three specimens were small, but 

 one female was larger than usual. 



Catochrysops hanno, Stoll. (? 7nonops, Zell.). One 

 specimen to the east of Scarborough. 



Thecla heon, Cram. 4. One specimen on the shore to 

 the south-west of the town at the flowers of the Sea- 

 side Grape {Coccoloha uvifera, Jacq.) ; rather common 

 at Cocoa Wattie, frequenting the flowers of a purple 

 papilionaceous shrub. 



Thecla polittis, H. H. Druce. A ^ at Cocoa Wattie. 



Thecla nuhes, H. H. Druce, n. sp. One specimen at the 

 Sea-side Grape, near Hillsborough ; four at Cocoa Wattie 

 at the pink flowers of a creeper.* 



Callicisfa hchastus, Cram, (salona, Htibn.). One taken 

 in Fort George, another at the flowers of the Sea-side 

 Grape, near Hillsborough on the coast. 



Tobias nisc, Cram., 3 ^, 3 $, all of the " wet-season " form. 

 Common near the coast. 



Terias alhula, Cram. 3. Near the coast, less common 

 than the last; one taken two miles inland on the road to 

 Cocoa Wattie. 



Pieris jyhileta, Fabr. {momtstc, Auct. nee Linn.). Two 

 males under the coco-nut palms to the west of the town. 



Callidryas eubule, Linn. (f. sennm, Linn.). Abundant in 

 Scarborough and along the coast towards the east, tearing 

 about in all directions, but not at all common at Cocoa 

 Wattie. Six $ and four ^ taken, of these three were of 

 the " wet-season " form, seven " intermediate," but all were
