rounded spot at end of cell, and posterior wings with a few discal spots composed of pale l>i(nvnisli 

 scales. Body mutilated. 



Exp. wings, 41 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula; Bingaiiore (('oil. Godferv). 



A single specimen of this distinetlv coloured species is contained in tlio collection of 

 Capt. Godfery, and is the only u-ltitr Teriad I have seen from the Malay Peninsula. A 

 somewhat similar species is represented hy an Amhoincse specimen in the British Museum. 



Genus APPIAS (nutra, p. 310). 

 1. Appias nero {antra, p. 311). 



Mr, Forbes has published the following observations respecting this species as found in 

 Sumatra: — " In the open paths and sunny roads I netted scarlet Pierida' {Appias iicm), often 

 tlying in flocks of over a score, exactly matching in colour the fallen leaves, which it was 

 amusing to observe how often they mistook for one of their own fellows at rest, and to watch 

 the futile attentions of an amorous male towards such a leaf moving slightly in the wind."* 



9. Appias lagela. (Tab. XLL, tig. 11.) 



Ctaophaipi Lai/flii, Jloore, Proe. Zool. Soc. 1878, p. 838, t. 52, f. 4. 



" Allied to ('. lahiij,', \ Doubleday, D. Lep. pi. 6, f. 3." 



"Male and Female. Smaller. Upperside differing on the fore wing in the l)lack apical border 

 terminating in both sexes before reaching the posterior angle, and the medial portion partly excavated 

 outside the lower end of the cell, and thence extending across the end to its base ; hind wing with a broad 

 marginal continuous band (as in C. jnindione, Hiibn.). Underside — fore wing with the black band 

 terminating as above; the apex and hind wing greyish-yellow, speckled with purple in male, and brownish- 

 grey with darker speckles in female, the speckles numerous across the disk, and forming zigzag fascite." 



Exp. wings, " '2| inches." 



Hab. — Tenasserim; Moolai (Limborg — Moore). — Malay Peninsula; Perak (Kiinstl. — coll. liilibe). 



This species is here arranged after A. lets.

To the other collected facts respecting the characteristics of this butterfly may be addinl 

 the curious observation made by Mr. Forbes in Sumatra, in the neighbourhood of the hot 

 springs, that its "favourite resort was the stones that cropped out above the iiot water, and 

 which were of a temperature but little below 130" F." :J 



=■= 'Nat. Wauderings in Eastern Aj-chipelaKo.' p. lo(l. I A species found in Continental India. 



* ' Nat. AVauderings in Eastern Archipelago,' p. •HI. 



At the hot springs of Soorujkoond Dr. Hooker found that a water beetle abounded in water at 112° (' Himalayan .Tournals." 

 vol. i. p. 25). Water beetles, however, seem to have extraordinary vitality, as Dr. Auerbaeh, writing to the 'Cheniiker- 

 Zeitung,' mentions as a curious fact that during an entire sunnner he observed water beetles — jn-obably Gijriinia natator — living 

 in tanks of a saturated solution of Glaubers salts. When alarmed the beetles took shelter under the crystals, just as tlicy do 

 in ordinary circumstances under water plants, &c. (' Psyche,' vol. iii. p. 14.B).
