THE BUTTERFLIES OF MYSORE. 29 



yet only the two generally distributed species huebneri and philo- 

 mela wove represented. The species most worthy of notice is 

 Arhopala bazalus, of which a single specimen was obtained at the 

 Gersoppa Falls, this species being hitherto only recorded from 

 Assam and Sikkim. With the exception of the HespervidcB, of which 

 very few species were obtained, the collection Avill be found to be 

 fairly representative ; though without doubt, if collecting could 

 have been carried out during the rains, numerous species would 

 have been added — the months October to February, during which 

 the collection was made, practically representing the dry season. 

 I had hopes of being able to collect personally in Mysore during 

 the rainy season of 1889, but was not able to do so ; and here I 

 am in Burmah with no chance of visiting Mysore for some years 

 to come, so I have thought it best to publish this list, incomplete 

 as it is, in the hopes that some more fortunate person may be able 

 to add to it hereafter, and will find it of some use to start from. 



I have also included in this list a few species obtained by myself 

 at Nelamangala and Soldevanhalli, two villages in the neighbour- 

 hood of Bangalore.

 were obtained, with their approximate height : —
