BLUEFIELDS. 
'Clitoria Plumieri; and Passion-flowers throw their 
feeble stems and entwine their tendrils among the 
shrubs and herbaceous plants that fringe the road- 
sides. Some small Melit(B(B, Cystineura Mardania, 
and Charaxes Astyanax ; some pretty low-flying 
Glaucoyid(B and PyralidcBy haunt these lanes, and 
a few rare Coleoptera have been taken from the 
shrubs. 
A few rods’ length of the high-road at the brow of 
Bluefields Mountain, along the edge of the dark 
wood where grow the tree-ferns already described, 
has also produced several flne insects. Here, and in 
the neighbouring parts that have been once under cul- 
tivation but are now “ruinate,” bushes of numberless 
kinds have sprung up, many of which are in blossom 
at all seasons. Though the flowers of most of these 
are individually small and inconspicuous, yet from 
their profusion they present an attraction to Hy- 
menopterous and Lepidopterous insects ; and such 
a wilderness of vegetation is usually more or less 
productive to the entomologist. In this particular 
locality I have usually found butterflies pretty nu- 
merous, principally Nymplialidoi and Hesperiadce, and 
those of sorts rarely found in the lowlands ; but 
from the tangled character of the “ bush,” and from 
the height of the blossomed summits about which 
they hover, they are less readily obtained than ob- 
served.
