some Butterflies taken in Jamaica. 51 
golden Skipper was common near the shore, Port 
Antonio. 
Catia drurii, Latr. Two. Below Gordon Town, c. 800 
feet, and on the Park Mount Road, Port Antonio, c. 600 
feet. Very hard to see. It rests with all the wings up, 
the fore-wings much sloped back. 
Catia vesuria, Plotz. One, taken by my Portuguese 
servant in the garden at Walderston. 
Morys valerivs, Méschl. Four. Two above Constant 
Spring, c. 700 feet ; two on “Shotover,” Port Antonio. 
Thymelicus vibex, Hiibn. (The yellowest form is com- 
binata, Plotz., H. H. Druce.) A female came to light at 
Montego Bay. 
Cymenes silius, Latr. One, in the wood above the Jam 
Factory, Constant Spring. 
I call attention to the number of species in which 
Jamaican examples differ from Venezuelan in the replace- 
ment of black or grey by fulvous, or orange brown. It is 
true that the soil of Jamaica, even where the formation is 
white coralline limestone, is often of an orange brown 
colour, but it scarcely seems possible to connect the two 
as cause and effect.
