ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. 



Afternoon showers were frequent and on several occasions 

 it rained for four or five successive days. The road mid- 

 way up the slope offered scattering Theclas, and occasion- 

 ally a Catagramma. The best collecting was at the bot- 

 tom of the valley where the road crossed the stream and 

 where damp spots proved an attraction to wandering but- 

 terflies. Papilios and Morphos were extremely scarce. 



I intended to go beyond Chulumani but my mules were 

 in such condition I was obliged to pasture them. In 

 addition to this my Indian guide drew two weeks' pay in 

 advance, working on my sympathy by stating that he must 

 have a few days off to visit his wife who was ill. As 

 far as I know he is still on duty at her bedside. It took 

 me over a week to secure a suitable Indian in his place. 

 A revolution, too, had been declared in La Paz, which did 

 not add to my haste to return.
