THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 13 



large female, entirely without an}' luider-vving markings ; and 

 another beautiful specimen, also a female, of a dark olive- 

 green brown, without any markings whatever upon it, except 

 a faint indication of the central light spot ; and below that 

 specimen is a fine female in male attire, of a deep rich 

 brown, with waved striga well-defined and shoulder-marks 

 fairly defined : these latter all belong to the generally recog- 

 nized group Roboris of Stephens, now sometimes called 

 Callunae, but why so called I could never understand, unless 

 its author, who once wrote an entomological paper in the 

 ' Zoologist,' is supposed to have proved it distinct from the 

 old Roboris, or from the following series of broad straightish- 

 bordered specimens, principally given to me by Mr, Double- 

 day, as the Quercus of his Catalogue and of the South of 

 England. In this series is one male, bred by Mr. Hague, 

 having the dark of the upper wing cut straight across and not 

 curved, one female cut circularly, and one male cut so that 

 the costal point is outwards, whilst, in all the southern speci- 

 mens I possess, the dark portion of the wings is cut somewhat, 

 but slightly, angularly, so as to point inwards. 



Saturnia Carpini. One male so dark that its capturer 

 called it the Emperor of Morocco j three barren females ap-

Jlie Lepidoptera of Labuan. By Dr. C. Collingwood. 



Although the Lepidopterous insects of Labuan cannot 

 vie with those of South America, as a rule, either in size or 

 in beauty, there are a great number of considerable interest 

 and of striking appearance. They are of course derived from 

 the mainland, and less numerous than those of the Bornean 

 coast; but inasmuch as the jungle of Labuan is extremely 

 fine, and far more accessible than that of the opposite coast, 

 a large number of handsome species may be obtained with 

 comparative ease. The only way to capture the best species 

 is to pursue them into the jungle, though a considerable
