The table would appear to point to the forms being local rather 
than seasonal. The “dry” specimens/it will be observed, were all 
taken in Jamaica and were all of the race, or sub-species jamaicensis, 
Moschl, 1 but, on the other hand, not all the jamaicensis were “dry.” 
Callidryas eubule , Linn. The two forms are abundantly distinct, 
more especially in the male sex. 
Dry-season form. $ Under side. Hind-wing, and all exposed 
part of fore-wing, irrorated with red-brown ; the markings strong; 
stigmata clearly outlined. 
9 Under side. As in male but reddish irroration darker. 
Wet-season form. $ Under side. No irroration: brown marking 
very faint; stigmata faintly outlined. 
? Under side. Eeddish irroration very faint. 
Intermediate specimens are frequent, approaching now one, now 
the other form. 
It may be at once admitted that these two forms of G. eubule are 
not restricted to the respective seasons to anything like the extent 
that is observed in the case, e.g ., of the S. African Precis octavia , 
Cram., and its “ dry ” form P. sesamus, Trim. Thus on January 
12th, 1907, G. eubule was seen in numbers flying about a weedy field 
at Temple Hall, on the road between Constant Spring and Castleton, 
Jamaica, Three examples were secured; a female of well-marked 
“ dry ” and one of equally well-marked “ wet ” type, whereas the 
third, a male, may be described as “ intermediate, inclining to wet.” 
I was informed that there had been no rain for three weeks.
