 " Catalogue of the Lepidopterous Insects in the Museum of 

 the Hon. East India Company," with descriptions of new 

 species, and notices of the transformations of many Butterflies, 

 Sphi?iges, and Bomhyces.

 "Catalogue of Eastern and Australian Lepidoptera Hetcrocera 

 in the collection of the Oxford University Museum. Part i. : 

 Sphinges and Boiiibyces^^ (Oxford, 1892). This book is of im-

A great number of valuable papers on the Butterflies of the 

 Malay Archipelago were published by Dr. A. R. Wallace in
