Dr. G. D. H, Carpenter on the 



surface of the forewing this specimen exhibits the same 

 tendencies as 1. 



4. $ terra, dark, with faintest trace of ohscura; very- 

 similar to 2. 



5. $ ohscura, much like C 1, but tending rather more 

 strongly in the direction of terra. Umber marking barely- 

 visible. 



6. ^ similar to 5, only tending rather more strongly 

 towards terou on the hindwing upper surface. 



7. ^ similar to 5, but tending slightly more strongly 

 towards terra. Sept. '21, 1912. 



[The two families tabulated below, together with the 

 notes upon them, were received in a letter from Dr. 

 Carpenter, dated October 17, 1912.] 



Series E. — Female parent a typical % hohleyi, captured 

 at the edge of the forest, July 24, 1912. 



Bemarhs. — 1. A typical (dwarfed) $ hoUeyi. 



2. $, approach to imitator like B 2. 



3. ^, a combination of hohleyi, terra and ohscura, showing 

 early stage towards No. 2. 



The hohleyi influence is shown in both 2 and 3 by the 

 strong development of the umber triangle on the hind- 

 wing under surface. 



Two other ova shrivelled up without hatching. 



Series F. — Female parent a typical te7-ra, captured 

 Aug. 2, at the edge of the forest. 



RemarTcs. — For some reason this larva grew slowly and 

 put in an extra ecdysis on Sept. 23 (the 5th). The 

 butterfly is a typical $ terra, except for the presence of 

 a strongly marked indication of the umber triangle. The 

 female parent was cut to pieces by ants which got into 

 the cage, but the wings show no trace of the umber 

 marking.
