A CORRECTION. 



To the Editor of the Journal of the Bunbuy Natural History Society. 



Dkar Sir, — In your Journal No. I., Vol. III., for 1888, you kindly inserted a 

 list of Burmese Butterflies caught by me. As it was not practicable to submit 

 the proof to me, I regret to say that a good many errors crept in, and I should 

 feel much obliged if you could tind room to insert the following corrections and 

 additions : — 



No. 3. D. aglcea, Cramer, this should be D. nielanoides, Moore. 

 E. midamus, Linnajus, should be E. linmei, Moore. 

 E. subdita, Moore, should be E. binghatni, Moore. 

 42(a) M. duryodana, Felder, Beeling. 

 Curetts bulis, Doubleday. 

 Allotinus alkamah, Distant. 



A unicolor, should be Paragerydus horsfiehlr, Moore. 

 Tarucus pliniws, Fabricius. 



Varieties of N. ardates. 



N. prominens, Moore. 



N. macrophthalma, Pelder. 



Catochrysops enejus Fabricius. 



Megisba malaya Horsfield. 



Lycamesthes bengalensis, Moore. 



Drupadia boisduvam, Moore. 



Spindasis syama, Horsfield. 



Nilasera subfasciata, Moore. 



Rapala sphinx, Fabricius. 

 No. l(»8(ct). Catopsilia gnoma. Fabricius, Reeling. 

 No. 172. Terias rubella, AVallace. 

 No. 175. Terias Hecabeoides, Mene'tries. 



No. 185. Pierids soracta. I cannot account for this name occurring in the 

 list ; it has never been, met with in Burmah to my knowledge. 



No. 200. P. onpape, Moore. 



No. 252. Suastus swerga, de Niceville. 



Hoping the above will not be found too trivial for insertion, 



Yours faithfully, 

 Madras, Ylth April 1889. E. Y. WATSON. 



PROPOSED ENGLISH NOMENCLATURE FOR INDIAN BUTTERFLIES. 



The following letter appeared in the Asian on 11th June 1889 : — 

 Sir, — You publish in your issue of May 28th a note on a paper read before 

 the Bombay Natural History Society by Mr. A. Newnham, B. C. S., on the 

 abovenamed subject. With due deference to that gentleman, I think he has 

 somewhat underrated the difficulties arising from such a proposal, and has rather 

 exaggerated the benefits that would accrue from its adoption.
