BI0N0M1C NOTES 
this dingy butterfly, I never found it really common, and have but 
two notes of its resting attitude:— 
Berea, near the hotel, Aug. 14th, seen to settle in the shade, 
wings upright. 
And, 
Congella, Aug. 18th. This species does not appear to orient: 
a slight list away from the sun, but sun not very bright at 
the time of observation. 
Dr. Dixey, however, obtained more positive results:— 
Durban (Botanic Garden), Mycalesis safitza has a very strong 
list when settled in the open; it may be to right or left in 
the same individual. 
Durban (Botanic Garden), saw Mycalesis safitza settled on bare 
ground; it had a strong list to the left. Saw it fly and 
settle in bright sunshine; once with its back to the sun, 
with list to left; once with head to sun, right list; once at 
right angles to sun, throwing a broad shadow. 
It would therefore seem that Mycalesis safitza may be included 
among the Satyrs with a list, but this does not appear to help 
concealment by diminishing the shadow, as I had suggested would 
be the case if the list were towards the sun. 
Observations in Jamaica , 1907. 
My visit to the West Indies enabled me to determine that at 
least one Neotropical butterfly, also a Satyrine, is to be counted 
among the “ listers.” 
Calisto zangis , Eabr.—This is quite a shade-loving butterfly; it 
keeps close to the ground, flying amongst herbage, usually for a very 
short distance at a time. It was once seen flying freely on a rainy day. 
Mackfield, Jamaica, January 29th, 1907. Three C. zangis seen to 
settle (one of them twice) with a list away from the sun of 
about 30° from the vertical. 
Christiana, Jamaica, February 2nd. C, zangis seen to list away from 
the sun. 
Mile Gully Mt., Jamaica, February 14th. C. zangis seen to settle and 
then, with a jerk, list about 30°. 
Port Antonio, Jamaica, March 4th. Three C. zangis seen to list from 
the sun, usually but 20° to 30°; one was seen to increase the 
list by two movements.
