s:matj, meadow r.uowx. 45 



upper side is a mixture of red, yellow, a,ud brown. The 

 fore Avings are brown at the base and on the front edge, and 

 they have a broad margin also of brown. Near the tip is a 

 large black eye, in which are two small white dots, and a 

 broad brown patch, or rather bar, runs obliquely across the 

 middle of these wings, parallel to the border at the outside 

 edge. The hind wings have a small portion apparent in the 

 centre of the same ground-colour as that of the fore ones, but 

 all the remainder is taken up with, a dark brown border, and 

 the same colour spread over the base. 



Underneath, the fore wings are coloured as above, but the 

 brown patch is wanting. The hind Mings are of a golden 

 brown hue at the base and the margin, with an irregular 

 waved greyish buff band running across the middle, with a 

 brown patch near the outer angle, in which are two small eyes, 

 and another patch and eye towards the hind angle, sometimes 

 accompanied by one or two or more small satellite eyes, which 

 vary in size as avcII as in number. 



The female is without the bar which crosses the upper side 

 of the fore wings in the male. 



The caterpillar is of a greenish colour, and has a reddish 

 line on each side, and a brownish head. 



The figures are from specimens in my own collection.
