 Tascina orientalis, Westw., from Singapore, Ncocastnia 

 ?ucm//ei, Hmpsn., from Tenasserim, and N. metallica, Pag., 

 from Palawan, next the EuscliemonidcV represented by 

 Euschemon rajflcsia from Australia, and finally Apoprogones 

 from Zululand. From this Antarctic fauna probably is 

 derived the greater part of the Australian fauna, a few 

 scattered representatives in Christmas Island, the Nicobars, 

 Singapore, the Malay Peninsula, Borneo and Palawan, 

 some ia the Ceylonesc subregion and Madagascar, a few 

 in South Africa, and it seems likely that the very specialized 

 and characteristic Neotropical fauna is derived from the 

 same stock.
