Abstract Indentured laborers from India were brought to the West Indies beginning in the 1840s. They form upwards of 40% of the population of several West Indian territories, including Trinidad (part of the nation of Trinidad and Tobago). Despite considerable assimilation to West Indian norms, these peo-ple of Indian descent feel strongly about retaining a separate and distinctive cultural identity. There is no overall consensus, however, as to what these people and their distinctive culture should be called. I argue that the quest for an appropriate label of ethnic identity is not a matter of arcane academic interest, but is at the heart of these people's construction of a secure place in a pluralistic society. The technique of projective life-history narrative is explored as a means to uncover the dynamic of the discourse of ethnic self-identification in modern Trinidad. Four widely used labels of ethnic identity are seen as master meta-phors to which individual life accounts are assimilated. Analysis of the formal properties of those accounts facilitates an understanding of how people of Indian descent think of themselves and present themselves in social interaction with members of other groups.

This West Indian Pyralid occurred to me on the cemetery grounds in Key West, Florida. The larva was destructive to a large bush (Thevetia neriifolia), commonly planted there for ornament. The larva webs up a group of the narrow leaves into a tube, and eats the parenchyma from within, thus destroying much foliage and rendering the plants unsightly.

In the following pages I wish to bring together some scattered notes and observations on the life histories of a number of West Indian damselflies observed during five recent visits to the West Indies.

Abstract The pest status of E. thrax was described early in the 20th Century (Dammerman, 1919, 1929). According to Corbet and Pendlebury (1992) the very similar Erionota torus has the same life history, and some of the records in the literature may relate to this species. For example, Zhang (1994) mentioned Hong Kong and the Chinese province of Guangdong, where only E. torus is known (Hill et al., 1978; Johnston and Johnston, 1980).

Thirty-four species of polychaetous annelids, belonging to 16 families, are reported. Most of them come from the West Indian Island of Barbados but some were collected also, or only, in Jamaica. All are coastal, shallow water forms. Observations on the life history and in particular on larval forms are included when pertinent. Zoogeographical implications are considered briefly.
