stay there obtained from six to seven hundred species in this 

 manner, though this is probably not a third of the species 

 which were obtained by the late Mr. Atkinson, who resided a 

 great part of several seasons at Darjeeling. Among the 

 species exhibited were the following : —

 Walk.; 0. vivaria, Moore; Gazalina antica, Walk. ; Agnidra 

 specularia, Walk. ; Agrisins guttivitta, Walk. ; Bizone divakara, 

 Moore; Euproctes melanophila, Walk.; Barsine flammealis, 

 Moore; Sendyra catocalina, Walk. ; S. bala, Moore; Prabasa 

 sp., near venosa, Moore; Tyana callichlora, Walk. ; and others 

 unnamed.

 pulchripicta ; Gaurena florens, Walk. ; Graphiphora rubricilla ; 

 Gonitis involuta', PLusia verticillata, Guen.; Arvena selenam- 

 phora?\ and five other species. 



Geometry. — Aspilates Falconaria ; Nelcynda reetificata ;

Crambites and Micros. — Pygospila tyres, Cr. ; Englyphis 

 fulvidorsalis ; Heterodes cinerealis, Moore ; Margaronia conchy- 

 la/is ; Phakellura indica ; Glyphodes sp. ; Glyphodes sp. ; Botys 

 sp., near lupulinalis ; Hypcena lacessalis', Hypcena sp., near 

 crassalis ; and twenty other species, many of which are 

 probably undescribed. 



Mr. Elwes remarked that the difficulty of naming Indian 

 Heterocera, excepting the larger species of Sphinges and 

 Bombyces which have been mostly collected hitherto, is very 

 gnat ; and the extremely large number of genera described 

 by Walker and Moore, which have never been properly defined
