" Uramhis [i. e. Also] also always waats the black spots situated on the 

 border, which form a principal distinction in Oeiio" (p. 208); and once 

 more, " finally the row of black spots before the border shows itself 

 distinctly only in Oeno^ though in Crumbis l_Also'] a dusky coloring 

 extends along the border, yet does not exhibit so sharply defined deep 

 black spots as in Oeno" (p. 209). 



C. The general direction of the band. 



Under C. Also it is stated that " on the outside the band runs from 

 the inner border [costal border is meant] to nervure 6, where it is bent, 

 whence it sometimes extends widely towards the border [outer border] 

 to a pointed tooth, but more frequently forms only a short projection 

 and continues gradually bent backwards to nervure 2nd, thence bent 

 again, reaching the inner border. On the inside it forms on the front 

 nervure of middle cell an arch upon the inside, which sometimes 

 curves very strongly, but generally only a little, and then extends to 

 the inner border in conformable curves with the other side" (p. 210) ; 

 of the same parts in C. Oeno he says, '' This band on the inside turns 

 back towards the base to a greater or less extent on the subdorsal and 

 subcostal nervures, whereby a concavity {Einhiichfunff') is formed in 

 the middle cell. Upon the outside it runs into a pretty symmetrical, 

 bluntly indented* arch extending to the border, widest at the 4th ner- 

 vure" (p. 212); and in addition to the distinctions given in these ex- 

 tracts, there is the following remark on the comparison of Boisdu- 

 val's descriptions : '' The expression ' crenelee,' which is applied to the 

 outside of the middle baud, suits perfectly the form of this band in 

 Oe?io, much less in Cramhia (Also)" (p. 209). 



D. The frequent obliteration of the bands by the uniform marbling 

 or obfuscation of the whole surface. 



Under 0. Also he says, " In some specimens in my collection the 

 whole under surface of the secondaries is so obscured by black marbling 

 that the middle band appears scarcely darker than the ground, and 

 the light bands on both sides of them only appear through indistinctly" 

 (p. 210). Under C. Oeno in speaking of the gray bands bordering 

 the middle band he says, " the inner is often wholly obscured by dusky 

 atoms, and the outer also is often scarcely distinguishable, so that in 

 such examples the whole wing appears uniformly marbled with white 

 and black" (p. 213). He further remarks in his observations on Bois- 

 duval's figures and descriptions, " The description of tlie underside of 

 the secondaries by Boisduval can be applied still less to CraiubtK
