NOTES ON CH1N-LUSHAI BUTTERFLIES. 35 



at the end of the year were in poo* condition ; the spring 

 brood appeared about middle of April, and did not differ 

 in markings from the autumn brood. It settles almost 

 invariably on tree-trunks, on which I usually obtained it 

 in the very early morning : it is crepuscular in its habits, 

 but does not seem to frequent very dense jungle. The 

 female is larger than the male and has all the ocelli larger. 

 All my specimens differ from the figure in " Butterflies 

 of India," in having only four ocelli on the underside of 

 the forewing, the lowest blind ocellas being wanting. 

 When seen either at rest or on the wing, this species 

 seems altogether out of place in this fauna, and one would 

 rather expect to find it sitting on stones in the hills in 

 company with Hipparchias. It rests with its wings closed 

 over the back, its underside harmonizing well with the 

 bark of tree-trunks.
