Dr. G. D. H. Carpenter on the 



APPENDIX. 



[I have thought it well to add to this paper an account 

 of specimens subsequently bred by Dr. Carpenter from 

 three known females of the ohsciira form. All three were 

 captured in the neighbourhood of Dr. Carpenter's camp on 

 the east side of the centre of Bugalla Island. Having had 

 the opportunity of comparing the whole of the " set " 

 material, I have added a few notes to Dr. Carpenter's 

 descriptions of the three parents and their offspring, but 

 it has not been deemed necessary to indicate the slight 

 additions. — E. B. Poulton.] 



Series B. — Parent ohsciira, captured in the forest just 

 above lake level, June 30, 1912 (laid four eggs). 



Eemarks. — The female parent has a pronounced pale 

 forewing bar and the hindwing towards the base is paler 

 than usual. The umber brown marking on the hindwing 

 under surface is rather more developed than is usual in 

 ohscura. 



1 is a ^ terra with pale fulvous forewing bar which on 

 the under side is nearly white. 



2. A particularly interesting $ specimen. I do not think 

 I have caught one quite like it. It would tale very little 

 to make it into imitator. The subapical bar is white, the 

 inner marginal forewing pale area is very faintly marked, 

 and a very little would cause it to disappear altogether ; 

 and to make the hindwing like imitator you only want a 

 concentration of the pale colour into a band. The speci- 

 men bears much resemblance to the female parent, differ- 

 ing in the more pronounced forewing bar and the less 

 pronounced pale areas on the rest of the expanse of both 

 wings. 



3. A $ terra, with rather more white suffusion on the 

 forewing bar than in 1. 



Traces of the umber marking appear in all three 

 offspring, faintly in 1 and 8, distinct in 2 which resembles 

 the parent in this respect.
