]20 NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 



along hinder margin, and darker costal border; in secondaries 

 the always broad brown outer and hinder marginal band, and the 

 constant absence of a sub-marginal row of white spots therein. 

 All my specimens of Chrysippus^ as well as the figures (and 

 descriptions) referred to, present an insect, the ground-colour of 

 which is of a much redder hue than in our form, the outer black 

 marginal band of primaries never continued along the hinder 

 margin — in fact barely reaching the angle; the secondaries with 

 always a very narrow outer and hinder black marginal band, 

 and a row of white spots within it. (In my Mauritius 

 specimens the white spots are less distinct). In each case 

 I refer to the upper side only ; on the under side there is 

 hardly any distinguishable difference in the two forms. 

 I am very sorry that I had not the opportunity, when recently 

 in Sydney, of seeing the specimens which have enabled Mr. 

 Masters to form his conclusion ; I am, however, bound from the 

 facts I have before stated, viz., the absence from all the speci- 

 mens that have come under my notice — some hundreds probably 

 — of one that coincides with the true Chrysip2)us, and of their all 

 agreeing well with Stoll's figure, to believe that Mr. Masters is mis- 

 taken in his opinion. I the more regret having to hold this 

 belief as I observe, from some earlier notes in the Proceedings, 

 that so distinguished an entomologist as Mr. W. Macleay had 

 arrived at a similar conclusion with Mr. Masters." * 



Mr. A. Sidney Ollifi" exhibited Zopherosis Georgii, a fine 

 heteromerous beetle, of which he had recently found several 

 specimens at Mt. Wilson, Blue Mountains. 



On the motion of Mr. Trebeck votes of thanks were accorded to 

 the Hon. William Macleay and to Dr. Cox for their valuable 

 donations to the Library. 



* Mr. Miskin has evidently never seen Danais Petllia, StoU, an insect very 

 distinct from Danais chrysippus the common Queensland species. D. Petilia 

 seems to be exclusively confined in its range to the North-western parts of 

 Australia, and specimens of it can be seen at any time in the Macleay 

 Museum. — (Ed.)
