272 Dr. G. B. Longstaff on 



It should be noted that the specimens bear particulars 

 as to the localities and exact dates of capture; but at 

 present I have no information as to the circumstances 

 under which they were taken, or the plants with which 

 they were associated. 



The first thing that struck me on looking at the collec- 

 tion was that it bore internal evidence of being a fair 

 sample of the fauna,* inasmuch as, among others, such a 

 comparatively obscure insect as Pinacopteryx venata was 

 represented by a series of nine specimens, as compared with 

 four Danaida chrysippus, one Teracolus proiomedia and 

 one Terias brigitta. On the other hand, that the collector 

 had not confined his attentions to the more sluggish insects 

 was proved by the presence of six Eronia leda. 



The collection had been previously critically examined 

 by my friends, Dr. F. A. Dixey — Pierinae, Dr. H. Eltring- 

 ham — Nymphalidae, and Mr. G. T. Bethune-Baker — 

 Lycaenidae and Hesperiidae, who all very kindly placed 

 their notes at my disposal. 



In order to make the comparison of the two papers as 

 easy as possible, I have dealt with the insects in the same 

 order as in the paper referred to. Each species has a 

 serial number, the same in the two papers ; where a species 

 occurs in this paper not dealt with in the first, letters are 

 added to the last numeral, la, lb, etc., the interpolated 

 species being put in what seemed to be suitable places. 



The very numerous quotations from these three authori- 

 ties, as well as those from Mr. Willis's letters are within 

 inverted commas. The old plate of the map in the earlier 

 paper has been used again with a few additions.
