NOTES AXD EXHIBITS. 1077' 



mistake is now evident, and is traceable as far back as Doiibleday 

 and Westwood's work of 1852, though whether it was antecedent 

 to that or not I cannot ascertain. It seems remarkable that so 

 many Lepidopterists should have quietly accepted the name of 

 D. Pstilia for an insect, which in no way answers to Stoll's Plate 

 nor to the description given by Godart. The common Danais 

 chrysip'pus may, in Australia, differ in some minute details from 

 those of other parts of the world, but it never can be mistaken 

 for D. Petilia, which I have now for the first time seen in speci- 

 mens from King's Sound, North-west Australia."
