than that of L. stolzmanni, the type of which is a very much 
younger individual ; the facial portion is narrower, and there is a 
marked difference in the shape of the interparietal bones, as will 
be seen by the measurements: in J. stolzmanni this bone forms 
nearly a perfect parallelogram, while in the new species it is almost 
diamond-shaped. The zygomatic arch differs considerably, the 
maxillary processes being broader and standing out at a greater 
angle; the squamosal process appears rather slighter, but is more 
horizontal, not drooping so much as in the type species ; it will 
therefore be seen that the “ greatest breadth” given of the skulls 
is the same in both species, though the width across the brain-case 
is much less in the species now being described. 
The mandibles are decidediy smaller, with very small and almost 
round condylar processes, whereas these are large and oval in 
I. stolzmanni. 
In all particulars of structure of feet, ears, and tail this species 
seems to agree with the type of the genus J. stolzmanni, Thomas, 
P. Z.S. 1893, p. 339; the most conspicuous outward distinction 
being the difference in the coloration of the tail and feet. I think 
the make-up of the skin has largely to do with the greater length 
of head and body in the specimen under consideration, as the size 
of the feet and measurements of the skull do not bear out the 
supposition of its being a larger animal. 
I am unable to throw any light on the cause of the large infra- 
orbital foramen; but I can say that no muscles pass through it, 
and that the nerve seemed very small when relaxed after it reached 
the Museum in a dry state.

[Received March 27, 1896.] 
The collection of Rhopalocera upon which the following notes are 
based was formed by Mr. Herbert H. Smith in the West-Indian 
islands of St. Vincent and Grenada and in some of the small islets 
called the Grenadines, situated between the two larger ones. A 
few specimens were also obtained from Barbados. Mr. Smith’s 
skill as a collector is well known, and as he spent a considerable 
time in both St Vincent and Grenada, and visited all parts of each 
island, we may fairly conclude that the present list embraces the 
name of nearly every species found in them. 
The result proves, we think conclusively, that the Butterfly fauna
