tached, was at the islands from the end of September to the beginning of April. Byron 

 and Bcechey's visits were between the latter part of January and the middle of July. 

 Mr. Butler does not consider the specimen in the British Museum, nor the record of 

 Doubleday, sufhcient authority to include this insect in his list of South Sea butterflies. 

 Upon the whole, we cannot fairly accept the present authority for the presence of this 

 insect in the P.icific Islands." (See also J4, 17. and 37.)

 In discussing his first impressions of the insect fauna of the islands, 

 Blackburn states : 



"Coleoptera are distinctly not common; Orthoptera, chiefly earwigs and cockroaches, 

 in considerable variety; a fair number of Hymenoptera; too many Diptera of the mos- 

 quito type; a few Ilemiptera; and many Lepidoptera, but only two butterflies, a large 

 Papilio and Vanessa kammeamea."
