some Butterflies taken in Jamarea. 4] 
A delightful rolling country of pasture intermixed with 
woods. About 800-1000 feet. Unfortunately the very 
head-quarters of the collector’s greatest foe in Jamaica— 
the tick. 
Montego Bay, St. James (Feb. 2-5); the collecting 
ground ranges from the sandy shore to the top of a wooded 
hill of about 300 feet, and was fairly productive. 
Walderston, Manchester (Feb. 6-20); the collecting 
ground ranged from about 2500 feet to 2900 feet (Mile 
Gully Mountain). An almost waterless district, but the 
tops of the hills covered with woods. One day (Feb. 16) was 
spent at Christiana in a gorge cut through Trappean Con- 
glomerate, about seven miles to north of Walderston. 
Height about 2000 feet in a well-watered country. 
Spanish Town, St. Catherine (Feb. 20-23); near the 
edge of an extensive plain, its elevation above the sea 
must be inconsiderable. 
Port Antonio, Portland (Feb. 24—March 5); from the 
coast my collecting ground extended to the summits of 
“ Shotover” on the west and Park Mount on the east, both 
about 1000 feet. 
Speaking generally, insects were commonest near the 
sea and on the slopes of the hills up to 1000 feet. Fhoes, 
bees and wasps were especially scarce at 2000 feet and over. 
DANAINA. 
Anosia archippus, Fabr., 42. Only seen at Port Antonio. 
Found about Asclepias also at Rose and other flowers ; it 
is hard to kill. 
The Jamaican specimens of this butterfly differ from 
those from South America in the fellowing particulars. 
They are brighter; they have less black along the veins ; 
there is more fulvous at the tip of the fore-wing; the 
white spots beyond the cell are outlined (and sometimes 
suffused) with fulvous. 
Tasitia yamaicensis, Bates. 22 near the stream which 
the Kingston-Castleton road crosses close by Temple Hall ; 
a fnear Ramble Post Office, another f near Walderston. 
Like the preceding, this is hard to kill. 
The form met with on the mainland, 7’ evesimus, Cram., 
which appears to be distinct, has much more black about 
it, e.g. along the costa and the veins. 
Mr. P. W. Jarvis said to me: “Neither of the Milk- 
weed Butterflies is very common in Jamaica.”
