In this, my second paper on West Indian Carabidse, 1 are 
presented the results of a collecting trip to Cuba, Jamaica, 
and Haiti made between July 28 and November 28, 1934, 
through a grant from the Milton Fund of Harvard Uni- 
versity. I hope to continue this series of papers from time 
to time as additional material becomes available, and 
eventually to end it with a complete revision of the 
Carabidse of the West Indies, with discussions of their 
distribution and relationships, of the origin of the faunse 
of the isolated mountain ranges, and of other problems. 
Itinerary : From August 2 to 12 aided by a small addi- 
tional grant from the Atkins Fund, I was at the Harvard 
station at Soledad, near Cienfuegos, Cuba, collecting espe- 
cially the smaller, more inconspicuous ground insects. On 
August 13 I arrived in Kingston, Jamaica, and went at 
once to Whitfield Hall (Miss. G. L. Stedman, office in Kings- 
ton) at about 4,500 ft. elevation on the south slope of the 
main range of the Blue Mts, From here it was easy to 
climb to fine collecting in the damp cloud forest of Blue 
Mt. Forest Reserve, and to reach Blue Mt. Peak, 7,388 ft., 
the highest summit on the island. On August 20 I re- 
turned to Kingston and motored across the island to Ocho 
Rios, on the north coast. Swamp and pond collecting
