A SECOND ACCOUNT OF THE WINTER BUTIER- 
FLIES OF NORTH QUEENSLAND. 
By G. A. Waterhouse, B.Sc., B.E. 
In 1910, I had the honor of presenting our Club with a 
few notes on my trip to N. Queensland in July of that year. 
The results obtained in 1910 were so important that I’ de 
cided to again visit the same district in June of 1911. Al- 
though I spent less time in the Cairns district than in my 
previous trip, I was enabled to bring back more specimens 
and many more records. 
Again choosing the comfortable 8.8. Bombala, accom- 
panied by my wife, we left Sydney on the 3rd June, 1911, 
reaching Kuranda on the 10th June after a most pleasant

The weather at Kuranda was quite warm during’ the 
day, but the nights were cold. Here we stayed a week, col-

the flat coastal strip near Cairns. The number of specics 
observed at Kuranda was one less than during the previous 
July and call for very little comment, as the only species 
caught, that I had not seen alive before were Z. alsulus and 
R. sumsoni. The most common butterfly was A. andro» 
macha, of which I was enabled to get many specimens covered 
with dew in the early mornings before the sun had warmed 
them sufficiently from the cold of the previous night. Many 
hundreds of eggs of this species were found upon the young 
leaves of the Grenadilla. A feature amongst the butterflics 
at Kuranda was the large number of species of ‘‘whites’’ and 
“‘yellows’’ and I was fortunate in obtaining {wo specimens of 
T. smilax, which as far as I am aware had not been recorded 
from Kuranda before. My opinion of the collecting at
