Here the blue and black of tin- eye spots of the hind wing are altogether 

 absent. The black internal border of the spot is broader than usual, 

 and the place of the spot is lightish in colour. In the spot of the for-- 

 \\ing the blue is deficient, the yellow is largely absent, but the white 

 spots are emphasized. 



*454. Specimen in which the eye-spots on the hind wings are obliterated, 

 as in the foregoing : those of the fore wings are also similarly modified. 

 I. ut the white spots of the marginal series are enlarged to a much 

 -n-ati-r extent. Also another specimen in which the eye-spots were 

 partially deficient These two specimens were from one brood reared 

 in (lei-many: of this brood none were typical, and several resembled 

 the specimens described. SOUTH, 1\., Ent., lss<), xxn. p. 218, PI. 



4.")j Specimen figured in which the eye-spots are symmetrically absent 

 from both posterior wings. In this case both the greyish yellow 

 bordering of the eye-spots and the blue marks generally contained 

 within them are entirely absent. The ground-colour of the hind wings 

 i- greyish Itrosvn, and upon this two black marks are placed in tin- 

 situation of the normal eye-spot and a series of small black lines occurs 

 round the margins of the hind wings. The eye-spots of the anterior 

 \\ings are modified in a peculiar manner which is not easily described.

456. Junonia clelia. ('nun. In this species there are normally two ocelli m each 

 fore wing and a similar pair in each hind wing (TitiMKN, S. Afr. JlnttertUex. i. p. 

 '214). In a series of nine specimens in the Cambridge University Museum very 

 great variations in the size of the ocelli appeal'. The jmxtt'rior ocellus of each wing 

 is more constant in si/.r than the uiiti'rior. (hie specimen wants altogether the 

 anterior ocellus of the hind wings, which in most specimens lias a diameter of about 

 'J-'i nun. In several the anterior ocellus of the fore wings is hardly visible. 



457- Junonia cocnia : the degree to which the two eye-spots of each wing are de- 

 veloped vaiies greatly. In a California)! specimen in (iodman and Salvin's collection 

 the spots are all very large, while in a (uanada specimen they are almost entirely 

 obliterated. Of four spreimens in the same collection from the United States of 

 Colombia (luit nut t'luin thr same locality i. one baa scarcely a trace of the anterior 

 eye-spot of the fore wing, the si ri.iul eye 1>< ing MTV faint. In the hind wing the 

 anterior eye-spot is very faint and th. p <sterior is absent. 



The two following cases arc important from the fact that in 

 each of them there is said to have been abnormality in neuration. 



*45S. Pararge megaera J (the Wall UutterHy) : specimen in 



which tlic second ncrvtuv d' the median vein is wanting in eacli 

 <>f the four 'ti'iiii/ft. In the anterior wings the place which should 

 be crossed by this nervinv is occupied by an extra ocellus (Fig. N-'!). 

 which is nearly as large as the normal large ocellus of the wing. 

 Tin- normal ocellus itself is incompletely doubled. In the hind 

 wings, the two ocelli (2nd and :>rd). which in the normal insect 

 are scpaiated by the missing nervuiv. are elongated towards each
