are very similar, except that the colour is pale brown instead of 

 deep black. The most conspicuous part of the colouring is the 

 second bar from the base of the wing. On the upper surface 

 this forms a nearly continuous bar across both wings, slightly

broken at their junction. But on the under surface the place 

 of this bar is taken by a row of red crescent-shaped spots, each 

 spot being edged with a narrow line of black. 



This is one of the Indian insects, and the specimen from 

 which the portrait was taken was brought from Silhet. 



Here is another of the foreign Butterflies which are coloured 

 alike on both surfaces, the only difference being that the under 

 surface is not so bright as the upper. In England we very 

 seldom find this to be the case in the Lepidoptcra, our well- 

 known Cinnabar Moth being almost the only example. Abroad, 

 however, there are very many such instances, and in several of 

 them there is scarcely any perceptible difference even in the 

 depth of colour.
