418 Mr. W. J. Kaye’s Notes on the dominant Miillerian 
Melinea crameri. 
Of the 28 specimens retained of this species there are 
the following proportions with regard to the dark area in 
the hind-wing :— 
UPPER-SIDE, UNDER-SIDE, 
Hind-wing withouta band . .| 27=96% | 21=75 % 
Hind-wing with a band d= 4%) 1257 
28 28 
The single specimen that shows a band above only 
shows it very indistinctly, but the seven that show banding 
beneath have it well defined, three of them show it par- 
ticularly well, yet on the upper-side it is hardly discernible. 
A specimen in the Hope Collection at Oxford shows a very 
distinct band on the upper-side and this came from the 
same locality and was caught on August 28th, 1903. 
Seven other specimens were captured on the same day, 
but all of these were unbanded. It should be noted that 
this presence of a band on the under-side only, while the 
upper-side shows no sign of it is particularly instructive 
and interesting as it shows that selection on the wing and 
selection at rest are two different factors; moreover, as 
it will be shown later, the under-side shows more general 
agreement in the various members of the group taken as 
a whole. 
The proportions of the spotted to non-spotted, with 
reddish, before the yellow apical band is most striking, 
especially when compared with the same on the under- 
side.
