caught two specimens, both females of C. statira in abso- 

 kitely perfect condition , evidently just emerged from puf ae." 



" At about 2.30 or 2.45 the flight stopped. I Ava/^ then 

 about the 14th mile post, and in cocoa (the Moreau road is 

 in virgin forest). Weather still sunny as it was throughout. 

 I afterwards went home along the Moruga road ,j ithout 

 seeing a single C sfalira on or crossing the road (Fig. 1, 

 No. 1).'' 



On the following day (8th February) I went to the locali- 

 ties in question, and found the buttei'flies still migrating. 

 At 1.40 p.m. a slight but distinct flight was seen going 

 west or north-west at about the fourth mile from Penal 

 on the Rock- Penal road (No. 2). At 2.15 there was a 

 distinct migration towards the north-west at about the 

 11th mile (No. 3). The numbers passing in successive 

 minutes at this point, on a front of approximately 100 yards, 

 were 16, 14, 2, 1, 25, 14, and 18. At 12 1 mile (Moreau 

 road) they were also moving in the same direction. A few 

 were seen a mile or so beyond this, but after that they 

 disappeared as had been noted the previous day by Sir 

 Norman Lamont. 



On the same day they were seen passing Tabaquite in a 

 direction " 35 degrees east of north " by Mr. H. Thomp- 

 son " (No. 4). 



During the week commencing Monday 10th, they were 

 reported to be very common flying towards the north at 

 Reform by Mr. Ross (No. 5) and at Tarouba by Mr. Bolton 

 (No. 6), being particularly common on the Pith according 

 to the latter. 



On the 13th they were reported flying towards the 

 north-east at Poole by L. Mota (No. 7), and in the same 

 direction at Rio Claroby P. R. R. (No. 8). 



On the 14tli they were flying west by north on the 

 Debe-Penal road about 3| mile at 11 a.m., at a rate of 

 350 per minute on a front of 100 yards (C. M. Roach) 

 (No. 9). "A dense drove " passed over Tabaquite between 

 one and two o'clock in a north-east direction (G. H. Wil- 

 cocks) (No. 10), and a large number passed over 8an Fer- 

 7iando flying approximately from south to north (E. A. 

 Turpin) (No. 11). 



On the following day I noticed myself a very slight 

 migration in a northerly direction over San Fernando, 

 but this seems to have marked the last effort, as no further 

 records were received.
