than in llie other two subspecies. In one of my four indiviihials there stands a small 

 black spot within tlie first (costal) marking of the discal row of spots of the hindwings.

The Alu iiude approaches a little the lyiiical form of the species. 



-Mr. Rippon {I.e.) quotes my authority as to the one ? and the 6 of T. vicloritte 

 reginae in my collection being Irom Fiji. This I do not now believe to be the case. 

 The following is the history of the two specimens : — I purchased them from the family 

 of a cajitain of a merchant vessel, who asserted that the specimens had been captured 

 in Fiji, where he, with his wife, had resided for many years ; now there is no record of 

 a "Irviilcs ca|jtured in Fiji liy any reliable collector, and therefore I believe the owner 

 of these brought them home to Fiji from a voyage to the Solomons. This is the more 

 likely as it is most improbable that two so distant places as !Maleita and Fiji should 

 have identical forms, while Guadaleanar, scarcely separate from Maleita. has a 

 different one.

 of exactly the same sliape in my individuals. 



Bdoii\ however, the male varies a good deal in the amount of l)liush green or 

 greenish blue. In most individuals there is no blue or greenish blue mark within the cell 

 of the forewings; other e.xamples have a small spot there, while in the specimen from 

 Balabac in my collection there is a large greenish blue patch, as in the female. The
