in the hind wings, being the largest. If these large specimens 

 should prove to be niore than a geographical variety, they may be 

 termed Clerome Assama, Westw. 



Their right, however, to this distinction, and even the distinction 

 between this species and CI. Arcesilaus, is rendered doubtful by a 

 specimen from Northern India, measuring 3| inches in expanse, 

 having the wings above of an uniform fnlvous brown colour, 

 whilst on the under side they are similar to the above described 

 individuals from Northern India.

The figures given by Dr. Erichson exhibit, in addition to the 

 two large ocelli on the disc of the hind wings, a slender dark 

 curved line across all the wings at about one-fourth of the length 

 of the wing from the base ; a second similar striga across the 

 middle of the wings ; a minute pale dot near the extremity of the 

 fore wings, and two fine slightly waved lines parallel to the outer 

 margin. 



The two large ocelli on the under side of the hind wings at once 

 distinguishes this species from the preceding ; whilst it gives it a 

 similarity to the typical species of Drusilla. 



Mr. Wallace has sent a very small specimen from Singapore, 

 measuring not quite two inches in the expanse of the fore wings, 

 having the wings on the upper side of a rich reddish brown-ochre 

 colour, the under side being nearly identical, with the three strigae 

 distinct ; the sub-basal one rather undulated, the middle one simply 

 curved, and the outer one at a short distance from the outer 

 margin and much angulated. The ocelli have a row of small 

 dots ; the first, second, fourth, and fifth are simply minute white 

 specks ; the third encircled with a small black ring, whilst the 

 sixth is a small ocellus. The spots on the hind wing are similar to 

 those in CI, Stoniphax, three minute white ones being interposed 

 between the two ocelli, which are not so large as in the Manilla 

 specimens. It will, doubtless, be considered that this individual
