101. Delias indica, Wallace. This butterfly very much resembles 

 D. eucharis, but lacks in both sexes the inner dark line or border to 

 the outer margin of the wings, and the red spots on the underside 

 of the hindwing are not bordered internally with black. The female 

 in some specimens shows the yellow at the apex of the forewing on 

 the underside through, so that it is perceptible on the upperside. 

 It seems to be more of a jungle-loving insect than D. ejxharis, which 

 latter largely frequents gardens. 



102. Ixias marianne, Cramer. This looks like an enlarged 

 edition of the European "Orange-tip" (Euchloe cardamines) at first 

 sight. Its flight, however, is much more rapid and stronger, and it 

 is altogether a more robust creature. The ground-colour is pure 

 white, enriched on the forewing by a brilliant orange patch at the 

 apex of the wing, which is bordered internally by a black line. The 

 wings are bordered with black also. The female has a few small 

 black spots in the orange patch. Underneath it is of a pale yellow, 

 with the orange patch on the forewing showing through faintly 

 On the forewing there is a black spot or ocellus with a white centre, 

 which shows through on the upperside as a kind of black notch on 

 the inner border already mentioned. There is also a row of 

 rust-coloured spots between this ocellus and the outer margin on the 

 underside of the forewing. The underside of the hindwing has a 

 curved row of whitish spots bordered with brown, and there are 

 also a brownish spot on the costa and a white-centred brown spot 

 on the vein defining the discoidal cell on the hindwing. It has an 

 irregular flight like that of H. pkrijne or B. mesentina, and flits 

 along hedges and ditches. 



103. Txias pyrene, Linnasus. This is very like I. marianne, but 

 the ground-colour is yellow while in I. marianne it is white. 



10!+. Callosune dande, Fabricius. This is also like the English 

 " Orange-tip," but instead of having orange tips to the forewing, it 

 has a crimson tip, which in some lights assumes a faint purple tinge. 

 It has a black border to both wings, and the crimson tip is also 

 bordered on the inside with black. Underneath the tip of the 

 forewing is yellowish, and there is a curved row of black spots about 

 the middle of this yellow space, and a black spot on the disco-cellular 

 nervules. There are also two blackish spots below this row and
