delights to sit in little family parties upon some dead bough. 
Euplea sp., possibly a local variety of tulliolus, Fabr. 
Junonia orithya, Linn., common; but very wary and difficult 
to catch. J. vellida, Fabr., common. 
Precis zelima, Fabr., several. 
Rhinopalpa sabina, Cram. ; this fine species was not uncommon 
in the forest, and was in good condition. They were usually to 
be found in pairs, though sometimes they were in family parties 
of six or seven, and were fond of settling upon the under side of 
a large leaf near the ground, and flew out suddenly as one 
passed; as a rule, if one kept quiet, they almost invariably 
returned to the same spot. 
Doleschallia bisaltide, Cram., common. This butterfly, during 
the hottest part of the day, flies high, and keeps well out of 
reach; but towards the evening, or when passing clouds obscure 
the sun, it descends, and may then often be seen at rest on the 
under side of a leaf, when they may be easily caught if one 
approaches quietly. ‘They are very pugnacious in their habits. 
One will take up his position upon a leaf at the extremity of some 
lofty branch, and from thence starts off and gives battle to every 
passing butterfly, returning, after the encounter, to its original 
position. 
Hypolimnas alimena, Linn., plentiful, and in fine condition. 
H. lasinssa, Cram., common. 
Neptis consimilis, Boisd.; this pretty species was tolerably 
numerous. It flies in a very airy manner, giving three or four 
flaps with its wings, and then floats gracefully to a leaf, where it 
settles with wings fully expanded. WN. shepperdi, Moore. The 
above remarks apply to this species also. 
Melanitis leda, Linn., a few only. 
Mycalesis perseus, Fabr., a few, but in poor condition. 
M. terminus, Fabr., common, and in fine condition. These 
two species were found among high grass by the edge of 
the forest. 
Ypthima arctous, Fabr., common with the above. 
Cenonympha sp., common. ‘This species also occurs near 
Sydney; but is unnamed in the local collections I have had 
access to. 
Lycena platissa, Herr.-Schaff., common. JL. salamandri, 
Macleay, W., afew. LL. pygmea, Snell, one example. Lycena sp.,
