further exhibited a very large and interesting collection of 

 Rhopalocera made by Mr. W. Doherty in Timor, Para, Sumba, 

 and other islands, during October, November, and December, 

 1891, and communicated the following Notes on the subject: — 



" The collection was made in November and December, 

 also the latter part of October, and is the finest collection yet 

 sent home from the Timor group, in spite of the unusually dry 

 season. There are many new species, and also some fine series 

 of various species described by Doherty in his Sumba paper. 



"The moths are not so numerous as in the Celebes col- 

 lection, but contain fine new things, among them a magnificent 

 Zeuzera near to Z. vnnens, and a (T'Zrtw/s near to C. malaccana. 

 I am able only to exhibit this evening the Rhopalocera, but 

 hope to exhibit the moths when the final papers on the Celebes 

 collection and this collection are read in October. 



" The following is a rough list of the species, which will be 

 of course carefully revised in the final paper. This exhibit 

 consists of my private set ; in the final paper the total number 

 of specimens in the collection will be enumerated.
