198 MISS E. M. SHABPE on [Mar. 6, 



Bahama Islands in 189S, and made a collection of Lepidoptera in 

 the island of Nassau. 



So far as I can discover, no papers have ever been published on 

 the Butterflies of the Bahamas, and I think, therefore, that a list 

 of Mr. Bonhote's specimens may be useful. The Collector's field- 

 notes are added.
