OF BRITISH HONDURAS
 San Pedro on the Sarstoon River, but I have not
 observed it in the northern districts.
 14. PAPILIO ID)US (Fabr).
 Found in the Western District and also at San
 Pedro Sarstoon. It is fairly abundant in these
 localities but does not seem to occur in the north.
 15. PAPILIO BELESIS (Bates).
 This butterfly I have only taken at Punta
 Gorda in the south and also at San Pedro on the

 16. PAPILIO PHILOLAUS (Bois).
 The dry season, which lasts from March to
 June, is the time to look out for this species. I
 have seen a few specimens at other times of the
 year, but the dry season is the period for its
 regular appearance.

 butterflies it is a lover of wet sand or mud-at

 statement applies equally to the other families,
 and is not only a peculiarity of the Papilio family,
 for the females are always conspicuous by their
 absence in the crowds of butterflies so often seen
 feeding together on patches of wet sand.
 The insect was found abundantly wherever I
 collected, and even in the streets of the towns
