1884.] MR. H. DRUCE ON HETEROCERA FROM DOMINICA. 321 



6. On a Collection of Heterocera from Dominica. 

 By Herbert Druce, F.L.S., F.Z.S. 



[Eeceived May 6, 1884.] 



(Plate XXV.) 



The Heterocera enumerated in the present list were collected in 

 Dominica by Mr. George French Angas, who has kindly allowed me 

 to select any specimens that I require for my collection. I find that 

 the Moths from Dominica are mostly the same as those from Jamaica 

 and Saint Domingo ; some I am unable to determine with certainty, 

 and I therefore think it better not to describe them as new species 

 without seeing more specimens. I hope that Mr. Angas will 

 endeavour to obtain further collections from this island, as I feel 

 sure that many more species still remain to be discovered. The 

 collection contained examples of about one hundred and four species, 

 two of which I have described as new.
