females varied much, and tliat mules could not be distinguished. While I fully 

 agree with Dr. Fiusch that the t/files look perfectly alike, and that the females are 

 much more bluish grey when freshly moulted, becoming more brownish grey in the 

 course of time, I dn not consider that, wirhout having compared a series of Indian 

 femriles, his conclusions are anything like convincing. I shall certainly admit 

 JA /restermanni as a snb.species of moJanoleiiea, as none of the Indian females 

 which I have seen are ever so bluish grey as the freshly moulted Malayan ones. 

 It therefore is nocassary to treat M. m. wesferminni as the Malayan form of 

 M. melanoleuca, differing in the darker and more bluish grey nppcrside of tiie 

 female.
