WEST INDIES AND SOUTH AMERICA 
most conspicuous butterfly on the island; brilliant in colour, bold 
in flight, and numerous in individuals, it was always much in evi¬ 
dence. The dry-season form prevailed, more especially as the spring 
advanced. 
Mr. E. Andre 1 speaks of Callidryas as a great drinker. The only 
time when I have seen any proof of this was when going down the 
beautiful Rio Grande on a raft. At about 3 p.m. five yellowish 
butterflies, which I took to be C. eubule, were seen drinking close 
together on the bank. 
Kricogonia lyside, Godart, 6 J, 2 ?. Ramble, Montego Bay, 
Spanish Town, Port Antonio; not uncommon along the coast to the 
eastward. 
Glutophrissa (?) drusilla, Cram. Common at Constant Spring, 
also taken at Montego Bay. This species usually flies fast and high, 
frequenting flowering trees and so keeping out of reach. I took a 
female at the flower of Eupatorium odoratum. My specimens are 
small, especially the females, which are quite devoid of black mark¬ 
ings. Somewhat similar specimens from Jamaica and other islands 
were named ilaire, Godart, by Mr. Butler, but the type of Godart’s 
insect came from Brazil. In the museum at Kingston this bears, or 
rather bore, 2 the name Appias poeyi , Butl. It is perhaps the My- 
lothris margarita of Hiibner. It would be interesting to see Jamaican 
specimens taken in the wet season, for the presumption is that mine 
are of the “ dry ” form. 
Sphaenogona adamsi, Lathy. Of this butterfly, so rare in collec¬ 
tions, I was fortunate enough to secure a male and three females. 
One of the latter was taken near Constant Spring, the other three 
specimens on the Manchester Mountains, viz. one at Contrivance, 
about 2700 ft., the other two on Mile Gully Mountain at nearly 
the same elevation. The solitary specimen in the National Collec¬ 
tion is labelled “ Kingston, Jamaica.” 
Terias (. Eurema) euterpe, Menet., 39 J, 21 $. The commonest 
species of the genus in Jamaica: Constant Spring (abundant), 
Gordon Town (not common), Castleton, Mandeville, Ramble (abun¬ 
dant), Montego Bay, Walderston (not common), Port Antonio 
(common). As this little butterfly flits along close to the ground it 
looks easy to catch; however, it goes faster than one would think; 
its flight is jerky, and when struck at it almost always goes down 
into the herbage and so escapes the net again and again. This

2 I have altered the tense from present to past, since the earthquake destroyed 
all the types and some others of the Lepidoptera in the museum.
