sliai'p inovenieiit tlie wings are further closed, and 

 the eye-spot is visible no longer, //. janira as a 

 rule shows eye-spot while resting \_i.c. during tem- 

 porary rest in daytime]. 



July 12. Mortehoe. Watched G. Irasdcx, $, resting 

 on a Iravihle flower ; wings closed so that the tip 

 was the only part of fore- wing visible. 



July 13. Mortehoe. Watched V. v/rticx at rest, quite 

 5 m. without stirring. It raised its wino's but did 

 not completely close upper-wing behind lowei', so 

 leaving a (roughly) equivalent triangle of upper- 

 wing showing, including the whole of the dark 

 costal mark. 



July 14. Mortehoe. H. hifpcranthus at rest shows 

 eye-spot of fore-wing, like II. janira \_i.c. at tem- 

 porary rest]. 



At 8.25 p.m. saw H. janira settle down to rest. Eye- 

 spot of fore- wing quite concealed. 



At 8.35 p.m. saw P. sylvanus resting. Wings turned 

 up Hat over back, not in characteristic " skipj)er " 

 attitude. 



July 15. Mortehoe. Saw H. janira settled (in sun- 

 shine) with eye-spot of fore-wing quite covered. 



Saw G. oiajn settled with about half of discoidal cell 

 of fore-wing showing. Afterwards saw one with 

 only tip of fore-wing showing. 



August 11. Mortehce. F.meg^vra at re'&i does not shut 

 up like S. scmcic (at least not during temporary 

 rest in hours of flight). It usually sits with wings 

 almost completely expanded. 



Aug. 12. Mortehoe. Saw G. r«^J<^', $, settled, towards 

 dusk (nearly 8.0 p.m.), on a Iramhle leaf in a hedge. 

 Wings vertical. On left side none of fore-wing 

 showing but bare apex. On right side a large part 

 of fore-wing showing. On careful examination 

 this was found to be due to the fact that the right 

 hind-wing was split, and the fore-wing had got 

 caught in the cleft, tin's preventing complete 

 closure on that side. 



Aug. 13. Mortehoe. Saw //. titJionns at rest; wings 

 entirely closed np. A cloudy evening. 



Aug. 23. Watched whites in Sandy Lane. When 

 settled for rest they look very much like turned- 

 back leaves of bramhie, near or on which they are
