wings. No blotches, wide bands of light and dark across all 

 wings. Apical eye bipupillate. 



c. Dale, " Hist. Brit. Butt.," p. 87, records one with light rings 



to ocelli on hindwings quite wanting. 



d. Fowler, " Ent.," 1891, p. 285, records breeding a $ with all 



the pale spots replaced with tawny. 



e. " Another almost unicolorous dark brown." 



/'. Fowler, " Ent.," 1893, p. 30, records a specimen " with extra 

 central markings forming an interrupted broad band from 

 tip of hind margin similar to megera." 



g, A specimen " with the four spots surrounding the eye much 

 reduced, all the others nearly obsolete." 



h. One with " the row of eye-spots upon the hindwing reduced to 

 white dots very slightly surrounded with black." 



/. Many females " have an extra spot between the two near the 

 anal angle and the one above " (forewing). 



A-. Others " have two inside the anal ones," (forewings), and 



I. Some "have the ground all brown." 



m. Barrett records, " Lep. Brit. Isl.," vol. i., p. 229, "a specimen 

 almost of an orange colour taken in Hertfordshire in 1884," 

 and 



n. Another taken by Major Still on Dartmoor, in August, 1892. 

 " Its forewings have most of the usual spots, more or less 

 faintly indicated, but the hind- show no trace of the usual 

 black spots, or of their yellow rings, or of any marking what- 

 ever except two minute white dots, which would have been the 

 pupils of the two black spots, had they existed ; the entire 

 upperside of the hindwings, with this exception, being of a 

 blackish olive-brown. The colour of the underside of the 

 hindwings in this specimen is hardly affected, but that of the 

 forewings is an unusual shade of tawny olive-brown." 



o. Mr. R. Adkin records, 1905, " Proc. S. Lond.," p. 94, a speci- 

 men with the pale rings on hindwings absent, the ground 

 colour intensified and somewhat less prominent pale mark-
