  200

   point

  with

  one

   From

  750 
  miles 
  distant

   Pyrameis 
  cardui, 
  Hypolimnas

  Lampides 
  boeticus 
  

   have 
  been 
  recorded 
  by 
  Mr. 
  P. 
  de 
  la 
  Garde, 
  R.N., 
  although 
  the 
  

   vegetation 
  of 
  the 
  island 
  is 
  of 
  the 
  scantiest, 
  except 
  on 
  the 
  highest 
  

   summit, 
  where 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  little 
  cultivation 
  and 
  some 
  trees 
  and 
  

   shrubs 
  have 
  been 
  planted. 
  The 
  more 
  inviting 
  and 
  fertile 
  

   island 
  of 
  St. 
  Helena 
  has 
  but 
  one 
  species, 
  Limnas 
  chrysijipus, 
  

   in 
  addition 
  to 
  those 
  of 
  Ascension, 
  but 
  all 
  the 
  butterflies 
  appear 
  

   to 
  be 
  tolerably 
  numerous 
  as 
  individuals. 
  Far 
  to 
  the 
  south, 
  

   and 
  1550 
  miles 
  west 
  of 
  the 
  Cape 
  of 
  Good 
  Hope, 
  lies 
  the 
  storm- 
  

   swept 
  group 
  of 
  Tristan 
  da 
  Cunha 
  and 
  its 
  satellite 
  islands, 
  where 
  

   Dr. 
  von 
  Willemoes 
  Suhm 
  of 
  the 
  " 
  Challenger 
  " 
  found 
  " 
  the 
  

   larvae 
  of 
  a 
  Vanessa,'' 
  probably 
  that 
  of 
  Pyrameis 
  cardui, 
  which 
  

   was 
  taken 
  there 
  many 
  years 
  afterwards 
  by 
  Mr. 
  de 
  la 
  Garde; 
  

   and 
  from 
  the 
  report 
  of 
  the 
  two 
  observant 
  German 
  seal-hunters 
  

   who 
  were 
  found 
  at 
  Inaccessible 
  Island 
  by 
  the 
  " 
  Challenger," 
  

   von 
  Willemoes 
  Suhm 
  concluded 
  that 
  there 
  were 
  two 
  butter- 
  

   flies, 
  a 
  Vanessa 
  and 
  an 
  Argynnis, 
  in 
  that 
  island. 
  When 
  Diego 
  

   Alvarez 
  or 
  Gough 
  Island, 
  280 
  miles 
  south 
  of 
  the 
  Tristan 
  group, 
  

   was 
  visited 
  by 
  the 
  naturalists 
  of 
  the 
  " 
  Scotia 
  " 
  in 
  1904, 
  they 
  

   found 
  " 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  beetles, 
  and 
  several 
  kinds 
  of 
  flies," 
  but 
  

   apparently 
  no 
  butterfly 
  was 
  present. 
  The 
  last 
  Atlantic 
  island 
  

   to 
  which 
  I 
  shall 
  allude 
  is 
  South 
  Trinidad, 
  500 
  miles 
  distant 
  

   from 
  Brazil. 
  This 
  remote 
  speck 
  of 
  land, 
  perhaps 
  the 
  weirdest 
  

   spot 
  on 
  the 
  face 
  of 
  the 
  earth, 
  was 
  visited 
  in 
  1905 
  by 
  the 
  Earl 
  

   of 
  Crawford's 
  yacht 
  " 
  Valhalla," 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  " 
  Terra 
  Nova 
  " 
  

   in 
  1912, 
  but 
  no 
  butterflies 
  were 
  seen 
  by 
  the 
  naturalists 
  in 
  either 
  

   ship, 
  though 
  Mr. 
  E. 
  G. 
  B. 
  Meade-Waldo, 
  in 
  the 
  " 
  Valhalla," 
  

   found 
  a 
  few 
  species 
  of 
  moths 
  of 
  American 
  type.
