than that o£ T. stolzmanni, the type o£ 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 /. 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 decidedly smaller, with very small and almost 

 round condylar processes, whereas these are large and oval in 

 I, stolzmanni, 



lu all particulars of structure of feet, ears, and tail this species 

 seems to agree with the type of the genus /. 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 

 tlie malce-up of the sldn 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.

The collection of Ehopalocera 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
