NOTES ON THE BUTTERFLIES


59. EUNICA COERULEA (G. and S.).
 Taken in the Western District in open forest
glades.
 Its flight is sailing, the wings being fully ex-
panded. The insect is far from common.

60. EUNICA MODEST (Bates).
 Although this is a very uncommon butterfly in
the Colony yet I have twice seen it appear as a
" cloud "-once at Orange Walk and again at
Corozal-in the month of May.
 The appearance at Orange Walk was during the
afternoon, but the Corozal invasion commenced
about an hour after dark, the insects flying into
the houses in the town in thousands evidently
attracted by the lights in the rooms.
 I believe the home of this insect to be Mexico.
It certainly is not in the Colony for I have seldom
met with it except on these two occasions.

61. EUNICA ALCMENA (Doub and Hew).
 A very lovely butterfly which appears in some
years in fair numbers and in others it is rarely
seen. It is never common. It flies rapidly,
alternately flapping and expanding its wings and
keeping rather close to the ground.
 I have never seen it at flowers, but wet sand
or mud has most attraction for it. It is found
in open sunny meadows, and I have met with it
