synonymy, no light task, before one can understand what species really are 

 being discussed. Jphias is what the Fauna of India calls Hebomoia, CalUdryas 

 is our Catopsilia and so on. 



For the student of Indian entomology, the work is of interest on account of 

 its biological observations but the author's hostility to de Niceville tinges it 

 too strongly not to give rise to a feeling of distrust. 



There are four beautiful coloured plates, in which larvae, pupae and butter- 

 flies not hitherto figured arc beautifully portrayed. The authors have 

 designedly given forth this family as a " proof " or model of what the whole 

 series will be, in the hope of obtaining financial support. We fear the 

 author's peculiar views and confusing nomenclature will make the series rank 

 with other similar publications of great size and cost, which do little but add 

 entries to cumbersome literature references without assisting towards a greater 

 knowledge of the subject.
