absent and the whole ground-colour of the wings is tawny 

 fulvous. The series of six from Scotland, bred from Oban

 markings of a cream colour, giving the series a very striking 

 appearance. 



Satykin^. 



Melanargia galatea. — Series of upwards of 90. No very 

 remarkable but several minor aberrations. In two specimens 

 from Kent, both females, and one from Northants, a male, on 

 the upper side the outer black band in the hind wing is almost 

 obsolete, only the ocelli being left, which are thus rendered very 

 conspicuous. 



Erebia epijyhron. — Thirty-eight English from Lake District, 

 13 from Perthshire, 20 without data. From the Meldola 

 Collection is a specimen labelled "Lake District," but without 

 date, of a unicolorous dark brown = ab. ohsoleta, Tutt. 



E. (Bthiops. — Series of 24 English, 50 Scotch, 10 without 

 data. No very striking aberration. 



Hipparchia se^nele. — Series of 100. Much variation of a 

 minor character, but none very remarkable. 

 Pararge csgeria. — Series of upwards of 70. 

 P. megcera. — Upwards of 60. 



Epinephele jurtina. — Series of upwards of 100, with several 

 striking aberrations. Two females, one from the Meldola 

 Collection, taken in the New Forest, the other from the Pogson- 

 Smith Collection, taken at Nettlebed, Oxon, have the fulvous 

 subapical blotch on the fore wing white instead of the usual 

 fulvous. A very remarkable female taken September 1st, 1891, 

 by Mr. W. Holland, has nearly the whole of the right fore wing 

 bleached, but retains in the bleached portion traces of the 

 fulvous subapical blotch of the normal colour. In the left fore 

 wing only the apex is bleached. In both the ocellus is reduced 

 to a white spot surrounded by a very narrow ring of black. 

 On the right hind wing is an oblique bleached stripe from the 

 middle of the costa to the anal angle. From the Meldola 

 Collection is a very beautiful symmetrically bleached female 

 taken near Eomford, Essex, in July, 1895. Towards the apex 

 of the fore wing is a large irregularly- shaped white blotch of 

 similar size, shape and position, on each wing. Both hind 

 wings have the central portion of the wing bleached, with a 

 narrow margin of normal colour running completely round the 

 wing. There are seven other specimens with partial bleaching 

 of the wings. 



Epinephele tithonus. — Series of 70. Six specimens have 

 supernumerary black spots on the fore wings. One from the 

 Chitty Collection, labelled "New Forest, 1890," has the outer 

 margin of the right fore wing bleached, and the central dark
