414 Mr. C. M. Woodford on Lepidoptera from preceding species, and has a comparatively small number of distant singly or doubly forked oblique branches. The much less oblique branches of the interno-median vein are more frequent, but appear less crowded from their simplicity, while those of the externo-median are more distant than the latter, and equally simple. There is no sign of any cross-venation. This species, like the preceding, is small, the wing measuring about 12 millim. long and 4*5 millim. broad. Named after Prof. Arthur Lakes, of the School of Mines at Golden, Colo-rado, the first discoverer of these fossils. Triassic beds near Fairplay, Colorado.

THROUGHOUT Mr. Butler's article in the March number of the ' Annals ' the word " Tamana " should be substituted for "Tarawa" wherever it occurs (three times). It is an error caused by the similarity in the names of the two islands. Tamana I visited, Tarawa I did not. 1. Junonia villida. This insect was extremely common upon all the islands that I visited, and I also noticed the larva, but cannot identify the food-plant. 2. Hypolimnas rarick. This was common at Tapetewea and at other islands in the Gilbert group, and I found the larva feeding upon a species of Abutilon (a specimen of the plant was left by me at the Natural-History Museum). At Nukufetau, in the Ellice group, I saw only a solitary specimen of Hypolimnas (a male), but could not capture it. 3. Choerocampa erotoides. The single example brought was the only one I saw, and I took it from the head of a child, who had tied it by a thread attached to the insect's tongue, and fastened the other end to his hair. This accounts for the damaged state of the speci-* Communicated by Arthur G. Butler, F.L.S., F.Z.S., &c.
