Our specimeus from Flores were caught duriug the dry seasou when the country 

 was quite parched up and when there had not been any rain for a long time. These 

 individuals have the underside of the body, legs and base of wings very white, almost 

 chalky. As they agree well with tiip individuals from Sambawa, Adonara, and some 

 from Lombok, and disagree with those from Sumba, Pantar, and Alor only in the 

 upper discal spot SC* — 11' of the forewing not being quite so large, we have no doubt 

 that on these islands, either during a wet season or at higher elevations, a form of 

 athamas occurs which resembles the Javanese attains f attains with dark femora, 

 wide band and darker underside. In fact, in Dr. Pagenstccher's collection (Wies- 

 baden), there is an individual from >Sumba, kindly lent to us for inspection by the 

 owner, which is so much like attalus f. attains that we do not find any distinguishing 

 character. The example is small (forewing 26i mm. long), the submarginal dot of 

 the forewing is very faint, the admarginal sjwts of the hindwing above are obscure, 

 on underside they are pale yellow ; there is one dot in cell of forewing below, the 

 cell-bar points towards the disco-cellular spot, the hook not being developed ; the 

 median bar R' — M' close to cell. The discal band is at SM- of the forewing almost 

 twice as broad as the black basal area. Median bars (SM') — SM^ of hindwing below 

 more oblique than in the ordinary atliamas from these islands.
