 From the paper by Blackburn the following is quoted : 

 Referring to the paper headed "The Recent Abundance of Vaticssa 

 cardui," in the August number of this magazine, it may be of interest to note 

 that I have observed the species in considerable abundance (but not in com- 

 pact swarms) at various points on the Hawaiian Archipelago, between Feb- 

 ruary and July this year (1879), — though I have not previously noticed it dur- 

 ing the three years I have been living on the islands. Its near ally, V. hun- 

 teri, has occurred in about the usual numbers. The season has been here, 

 probably, as much cloudier and more showery than usual as in Great Britain. 

 V. cardui has been recorded, I believe, as occurring on the Hawaiian Islands, 

 but I cannot at this moment lay my hands on the authority. (See 24, 27, 

 37, and 65.)
