OF BRITISH HONDURAS


 I have never seen it anywhere else except in
gardens at Corozal, where it may be found resting
on flowers and especially on zinnias, for which it
appears to have a great predilection.
 I believe this butterfly does not occur in the
south or west of the Colony.
33. HYPANARTIA LETHE (Fabr).
 I have only taken this insect sparingly in the
Western District usually settled on moist sand
or mud. It is a very active creature and remark-
ably quick on the wing.
34. PRECIS or JUNONIA GENOVEVA (Cram).

35. PRECIS or JUNONIA CCENIA (Hub).
 These are both forms of Precis lavinia (Cram).
They are commonly met with in open dry country.
In the so-called pine ridges, which are sandy
wastes covered with a short species of grass and
dotted here and there with pine trees, they are
particularly common. In one of these pine ridges
I found many of the larvae feeding on a certain
species of grass.
 The insects are quick on the wing, alternately
flapping and sailing after the manner of the
Vanessac. When they settle, which they fre-
quently do, it is always on the ground or on low
herbage, with their wings fully expanded.
 They seem to occur pretty well through the
