Fia. 1. Bothriu chennellii. 



„ 2. Celastrina argiolus, var. bothrioides, sent to me as 

 chennellii. 



„ 3. Celastrina argiolus, var. sikkiTua (Moore). From a specimen 

 labelled jynteana by Moore. 



,, 4. NotaHhrinns hinghami. From some different quality in 

 the colours, the photographs show a more marked diflFer- 

 ence between this and Fig. 1 than appears in the speci- 

 mens. Fig. 1 is from a well-marked dark specimen. 



„ 5. Celastrina argioluSy var. sikkima (l\Ioore).

„ 7. Everes dipora. E. argiades, var. diporides, is indis- 

 tinguishable on the ujjjjer side. 



„ 8. Celastrina argiolus, var. hugelii. This may be taken as the 

 more normal form, of which Figs. 2, 3, 5, 10 and 12 are 

 local races. 



„ 9. Celastrina limbatus, normal form of which jynteana 

 (Fig. 6) is a variety. 



„ 10. Celastrina argiolus, var. albocseruleoides (Tutt's "Brit. 

 Lep.," vol. ix, p. 404). 



„ 11. Celastrina puspa, from the same locality as Fig. 12. 



„ 12. „ argiolus, var. puspargiolus. Blue and whites 



being for the camera almost identical, the white patches 



on Figs. 10, 11 and 12 do nota})pear in the photograjdis. 



The specimens 11 and 12 were collected in Assam (or Simla) by 



Col. E. R. Johnson, and given to me (with others) in i)apers by 



Col. Bingham.
