.-"TO DOMINGO CANE BUTTERFLY (Calisto pulchella Lathy) 
~~'" 1 & " -"• Wolcott (Liay 10): an outbreak of caterpillars of the 
Santo Domingo cane butterfly, Calisto pulchella Lathy, occurred 
in the northern part of Haiti between Cap Haitien and ^uaniminthe. 
I did not observe this in person, but Mr. Fessenden, of the office 
of the Haitian-American Sugar Company, described the caterpillars 
and the nature of their injury so well that I have no doubt as to 
the identity of the insect concerned. Calisto is reasonably com- 
mon everywhere that cane is grown in Hispaniola, but I have seen 
or heard of no serious outbreaks since being here, except for 
the one new reported.
