I am indebted to Mr. Cockered for the specimen collected by Mr. Fawcett. There is another specimen in the British Museum, labelled " Jamaica (Cinchona), 90.65, 6.90, W. Fawcett." 4.

VINCENT 2; GRENADA (windward side-Balthazar, 250 ft., La Force Estate, 350 ft., 5 IV.-5 Y.-H. H. Smith). Heer Snellen's opinion on the probable synonymy of gilvidorsis, quoted by von Hedemann (I. c. No. 3), is quite justified, for I had already examined the two types side by side, and had made a note that gilvidorsis, Z., must sink as a synonym of tenuis, F. Baron von Hedemann has sent me the three specimens which were determined for him by Snellen : two are montls-chrlstl, Wlsm., and the third is pumillo; there is at present no evidence that gilvidorsis occurs in the West Indies.
