To my own judgment the sceut resembled rather clove- 

 pink, but was still more like pink bind-weed {Convolvulus 

 arvensis, Linn.). 



Terias dclia, Gram. (Jamaica, Panama, Golombia, 

 Venezuela, 1907), and T. j^hiale, Gram. (Venezuela, 1907). 

 Results conflicting, but in the large majority of cases 

 negative. 



Terias allmla, Gram. (Trinidad, Tobago, Golombia, 

 Venezuela, 1907). Results uniformly negative. 



Terias oiisc, Gram. (Trinidad, Tobago, Panama, Vene- 

 zuela, 1907). Out of 8 (t taken 5 had a scent, varying 

 from very slight to very strong ; it was compared to that 

 of pink bind-weed. A slight scent Avas detected in a $ 

 specimen, this was confirmed by Mrs. Longstaff. 



Terias mcssalina, Fabr. (Jamaica, 1907). In 6 ,^ out of 

 10 a scent was noted; it is described in my notes as 

 " distinct " or " strong," and compared to pink bind-weed 

 and to spice. It is also noted as " distinct from that of 

 eitterjje, more dusty, less specific," but another specimen 

 " more spicy than bind-weed." 



Terias ivcstiooodii, Boisd. (Jamaica, 1907). Only 3 $ 

 were taken, all had a scent, described in one case as "spice 

 odour, not quite the same as euterpe." 



Terias libythea, Fabr. (Geylon, 1908). In several ^ 

 specimens — at least five — a faint scent was detected, 

 which I compared to that of Convolvulus arvcnsis. 



Terias hecahe, Linn. (Ceylon, 1908). I failed to detect 

 any scent in this common Terias or any of its allied 

 forms. 



Catophaga paulina, Gram. (Geylon, 1908). The results 

 of my 1904 observations * were only in part confirmed. 

 In both years the scent was noted in the ^ only, in 1904 

 it was described as " like sweet briar, but sweeter and 

 more luscious," whereas in 1908 it was variously described 

 as "sweet," "very sweet, 1 Freesia," "flowery," "decided 

 Meadow-sweet," " decided StejjJianotis," " extremely 

 sweet." 



Hupliina nerissa, Fabr. (Geylon, 1908). The results of 

 Indian observations f of 1904 were confirmed, many $ 

 yielding a distinct sweet-briar scent. 



Pieris calydonia, Boisd. (Venezuela, 1907). Three ^ of 

 this species- — all that I captured — had a distinct flowery
