4. On a small Collection of Lepidoptera from Jamaica. By 

 Arthur G. Butler, F.L.S., F.Z.S., &c. 



[Eeceived April 12, 1878.] 



The Lepidoptera enumerated in the present paper were collected 

 at or near Kingstown, Jamaica, by Mr. James John Bowrey, who 

 has kindly permitted a selection to be made from them of all the 

 species required for the national collection. 



Among the Butterflies, as might have been expected, there is very 

 little new, a species of Pamphila being the only one to which I have 

 ventured to give a name ; but among the more obscure and small 

 Moths there are about two dozen novelties. 



Rhopalocera.
