514 MESSRS, GODMAN AND SALVIN ON (Apr. 21, 
is a very poor one, and there is now no likelihood of any important 
additions being made. 
In 1884 (P. Z.S. pp. 314-820) we wrote a short paper on the 
Rhopalocera of the island of Dominica,and gave an account of the 
27 species enumerated, together with a general view of the relation- 
ship of the Butterfly fauna of the island to that of the adjoining 
regions. The present list entirely confirms the conclusions 
arrived at and points to the great poverty of this portion of the 
West-Indian fauna. The Danaine are represented by two species 
of Danais, the Ithomiinw being wholly absent. Of Nymphaline 
we find only eight species of six genera, all of them more or less 
common continental species. Heliconine are absent, and so are 
Satyrine, Morphine, and Brassoline. Erycinide are unrepresented, 
but Lycenide show eight species, of which we now describe 
three as new, all of them slight modifications of widely 
spread southern forms. Of Pierine (seven species), Pieris virginia 
is the only one peculiar to the Antilles and is also found in 
Dominica. The only Papilio is apparently P. ewrydamas, which 
also occurs in Martinique. Of Hesperiide we find thirteen species, 
and of these we give new names to three, two of which have not 
been found elsewhere. 
Comparing the Butterflies of the two islands, we find little to 
notice. Grenada has, as might be expected, a slight preponderance 
of southern forms, of which Cystineura cana is an example. 
DANAInz. 
1. Dawats PLExippus (Linn.). 
Danais plexippus, Biol. Centr.-Am., Rhop. i. p.1; P.Z.8. 1884, 
p- 315. 
Three examples from St. Vincent (both windward and leeward 
sides), with white subapical spots, agreeing with South-American 
specimens. 
2. DANAIS ERESIMUS (Cram.). 
A South-American species of wide range, occurring in Hispaniola 
and Jamaica. 
“Swampy forest by the sea-shore north of Granville, Grenada I. ; 
common in this locality. Also Telescope Estate, windward side, 
April.” 
NYMPHALIN &. 
3. CoLANIs suLia (Fabr.). 
Several specimens agreeing with South-American examples, 
having the oblique submarginal dark band on the primaries well 
developed, The Dominica species is much nearer Cramer's 
C. cillene, but differs in some respects. All these island forms 
require revision. 
*< St. Vincent ; very common in open lands below 1000 or 1500 
feet.”
