In April, several species of Cramhus or Grass Web-worm moths and other moths were common in grassland, but most of those obtained have not been determined specifically. Little Sulphur Butterfly. {Eurema Ksa Hub.; Scudder* = 7'er^«s lisa of most writers, as in Jones, 1863 and 1876.) Figure 112. This species, referred to above, is one of the most abundant. Its pale sulphur- or canary-yellow wings are externally bordered with dark brown, and the front wings are tipped with the same, and 112 114.

Hurdis (Rough Notes, pp. 317-323) mentions a large flock, con- taining thousands, that arrived, doubtless from over seas, Oct. 10, 1847. J. M. Jones publishedf in 1875 an account of a vast flock that arrived, Oct. 1, 1874. They were first seen out at sea by fisher- men fishing on the reefs. They arrived on the north side of the Main Island, appearing like a vast cloud, which soon divided mto * In naming the butterflies I have followed the nomenclature of Mr. S. H. Scudder's class
