The following list, I believe, includes the names of all butterflies 

 which at present are known from Siam. 



Several butterflies sent to the British Museum in 1914 and 

 some forty others obtained during a recent trip to the North of Siam 

 have not yet been worked out, but even with these additions the list 

 cannot by any means be considered complete, for there are still many 

 parts of the country — the North particularly — which are practically 

 unknown entomologically. 



Collectors were at woik in the country as fai' back as 177U, for 

 Clerome arcesilaus was described by Fabricius from Siam in that year. 



A list* of the butterflies obtained by M. Pavie during the course 

 of his ti'avels in Trido-Cliina (1879-1895) iuchule.s the names of several 



from Siam. 



11. H. Dnice was in tlu- country in 1871. and W. H. Doherty in 



1891. 



\)i\ Erick Haase. wlio was at one time Curator (jf the Bangkok 

 .Musruni, collected in ami around Bangkok from 1891 to 1893.
