362 MISS E. M. SHAHPE OX L-^^^'!'}' 3, 



the Monkeys occurring near Murree and Abbottabad are the same. 

 I have never been able to obtain a specimen. A few years ago a 

 scene was figured in one of the principal illustrated newspapers in 

 which these Monkeys played a conspicuous part, but as they were 

 represented with prehensile tails it was evident that either tlie 

 imagiuative powers of the artist, or the supposed tastes of the 

 British public as interpreted by the newspaper editor, had deprived 

 the picture of any value as evidence. 



4. On a Collection of Lepidopteroiis Insects from San 

 Domingo. By Emily Mary Sharpe. With Field-notes 

 bj the Collector, Dr. Cuthbert Christy. 



[Received March 10, 1898.] 



The present collection was made during the year 1S96 by 

 Dr. Christy in the Island of San Domingo. He has entrusted 

 me with the determination of the species, among which will be 

 found a line new Hesperid. 



Dr. Christy's stay in the island was not long enough for him to 

 obtain an extensive series of specimens, but his notes on the 

 habits of the species will, 1 think, be found to be interesting. 

 The best paper on the Lepidoptera of San Domingo is that of 

 Meuetries, in the third volume of the Nouv. Mom. Soc. Imp. 

 Xat. de Moscou (1831). 



I have taken most of the names from the collection in the 

 British Museum, and have especially consulted the ' Biologia ' of 

 Messrs. Godman and JSalvin. I have also to thank my friend 

 Mr. W. F. Kirby for his kind assistance in determining the 

 specimens.

1. Anosia archippus (Fabr.). 



[Seen commonly from February to May both at Sanchez and 

 La Vega. On one occasion in February, whilst on a shooting 

 trip in the big morass at the mouth of the Yuna river, I found 

 quantities of these insects frequenting certain dried mud-banks. 

 They were very conspicuous on account of the three beautiful 

 tufts or pencils of hair, fully three-eighths of an inch long, which 

 they were able to extrude at will irom the extremity of the 

 abdomen. I tried many ways to get the tufts to remain extruded 

 after the insects were lulled, but was not successful. — C. C]
