'Northward from EUabel,our village, the shore of the channel 

 was dotted with detached coral boulders, on each of which 

 sereral corpses reposed, whence the most fearful stench used 

 especially after rain, to come down the wind, M^hether this, or 

 the Convolvttlacew and creeping FapUhnace&e that flowered ia 

 abundance there, was the attracting cause I cannot say ; but 

 certain it is that these most pestiferous spots were our richest 



butterfly grounds. There A caught the new Mijpohjmnas 



forhemi, Terias laratensis, and among many others two different 

 species, CalUpla'a visenda and Chanapa mcerdos—whiiAi it was 

 next to imptissible to distinguish on the wing from their 

 mimicking each other — both new to science, while the lovely 

 Ptihjms wallacii frequented in crowds the fig-trees that over- 

 hung this foetid shore.
