This sub-species oiA.egista, Cram., is much smaller, and 

 paler in colour both above and below than the Australian 

 form.

In the Australian form the yellowish-red rings of the 

 hind-wing are usually separated by a brown bar ; in Fijian 

 specimens, which are smaller, this bar is linear, and the 

 reddish colour is darker. Samoan specimens average about 

 half the size of Australian, are very much darker in colour, 

 and the encircling rings are joined to form continuous 

 bands in the hind-wing, 



Hypolimnas holina, Linn. 



This species was received in considerable quantities from 

 all the localities visited, females greatly predominating. 

 The males showed no variation from the ordinary form 

 found in Australia, excepting in their somewhat smaller 

 size. On the other hand, no two females were alike amongst 

 about twenty specimens from Fiji ; in colour some were 

 nearly white, others brown, and others a beautiful reddish 

 brown ; the whitish band from the costa to the outer 

 margin of the fore-wing was as often absent as present ; 

 the central patch of the hind-wing was in one instance 

 blue, in others white or reddish, and in several cases 

 entirely absent. Considering that only one form of male 

 was obtained, I think it undesirable to admit even sub- 

 specific rank for any of the female forms found in Fiji. In 

 Samoa this species was also very plentiful, and much 

 smaller in size, and only varied in the amount of red on 

 the upper-side in the females,
