90 Dr. G. B. Longstaff’s Motes on the Butterflies 
L., was abundant, of #. merione, Cr., two specimens were 
secured. The butterflies of this genus settle with the 
wings three-fourths expanded. 
Nepheronia hippia was rather common; though its 
female somewhat mimics Zirwmala limniace, the male, 
when on the wing, looks much bluer than that insect. 
A brilliant fulvous Skipper, Zelicota bambuse, Moore, 
was the only representative of the group, but there were 
several Blues, to wit Catochrysops strabo, Fab., which was 
common ; Lampides celeno, Cr., larger than usual, one being 
of the form aleais, Stoll.; and Neopithecops zalmora, Butl., 
was common. <A single example of Cwretis thetys, Dru., 
fell to my net, apparently bitten by some enemy; its 
silvery white under-side is very striking. But perhaps the 
strangest-looking butterfly of the lot was Lozura atymnus, 
Cr., of which I got two. Its wings are much _plaited 
longitudinally, and when at rest its extremely long tails, 
crumpled look, and brown colour give it quite the look of 
a dead leaf. A closer examination shows that the portion 
of the hind-wing near the anal angle is bent down, or 
back, nearly to a right angle; this bent portion is, how- 
ever, relatively smaller, more oval and less sharply bent 
than the rounder anal lobes of Rapala and Aphneus ; 
moreover it is not furnished with the very large marginal 
scales which are so conspicuous in those genera. 
Toliganj. December 7th, 1903. 
About two miles from Baliganj, and due south of 
Calcutta (about half-a-mile beyond the Sports Club), is the 
locality referred to as Toliganj. Here too is an old 
abandoned garden, but lacking the elements of departed 
grandeur that give a poetic colouring to De Nicéville’s old 
hunting-ground. The prominent features are a great 
profusion of Lantana in full bloom, a bamboo grove and a 
good deal of thorny jungle. The day that I was there the 
Lantana was the chosen haunt of great numbers of the 
bigger butterflies such as Delias eucharis, Tirumala limni- 
ace, Limnas genutia, Papilio pammon, mostly worn, P. 
ipaahalechie: and a few P. erithonius, together with an 
occasional Nepheronia hippia, with his broad wings proudly 
expanded to view. The sight of these big fellows, expand- 
ing from three to four inches, quietly settled on the flowers, 
or fluttering after the manner of Papilio, or grandly 
sailing around gorgeous in their white, yellow and scarlet,
