 Butterfly Emigrants. 



BY PROF. J. J. RIVERS. 



Is the climate changing in CaHfornia? Certain southern 

 butterflies have taken up their abode in Santa ]\Ionica that form- 

 erly were not credited to this locality, viz., CaUidryas eubule, 

 Linn. ; and Terias nicippe, Cram. Both these butterflies are 

 among the commonest butterfly residents, and have taken up per- 

 manent quarters. Extending the area of their domain could not 

 be successful on climate alone, as these species are particular as 

 to their diet. C. eubule is known to feed upon Cassia and Tri- 

 folium. The inhabitants here have a great liking for the blazing, 

 flowering Cassia Horihunda, and have planted it extensively ; the 

 butterflies are equally rejoiced, and have shown great apprecia- 

 tion by establishing themselves in great numbers upon every tree 

 to the detriment of its beauty, thus causing an antagonistic atti- 

 tude on the part of the inhabitants, and many shrubs have been 

 already rooted out.
