182 Mr. A. G. Butler on Lqndo^tera 



every isolated observation made by every naturalist wlio has 

 preceded him in a particular field of work ; but I do hold 

 that the deliberate abstention on tlie part of one occupying a 

 leading position among zoologists from giving any recogni- 

 tion whatever to the writings of a predecessor who has antici- 

 patedhim (1) in the formulation of such views as those advocated 

 by me and subsequently by Glaus as to the classification of 

 Arthropoda, and (2) in the publication of a variety of facts and 

 hypotheses which lead up to this prominent result, is greatly 

 to be deplored — and not only to be deplored, but to be exposed 

 and condemned. 



XX. — On a Collection of Lepicloptera made hy Commander 

 Alfred Carpenter^ R.N., in Upper Burma, in the Winter 

 of 1885-86. By Arthur G. Butler, F.L.S., F.Z.S., 

 &c. 



The collection of which this is an account consists of 128 

 specimens, some of them indeed (especially Nymphalida3) in 

 poor condition, owing to the length of time they had 

 been on the wing when caught, but many of them in a 

 good state of preservation. The number of species obtained 

 was sixty-five, five of which I have been obliged to describe 

 as new ; several other possibly new species are not in suffi- 

 ciently good condition to be fit for description. 



NymphalidsB. 

 1. Tirumala leopardus^ Butler. 



The typical form was obtained on the 10th January on the 

 Irrawaddy river, opposite Mandalay, and a female of a form 

 approaching T. conjuncta at Kabwett (lat. 22° 44' N.) on 

 the 5th of the same month. 



2. Limnas chrysippus, Linn. 



The female was obtained on the Irrawaddy, thirty miles 

 above Mandalay (lat. 22° 27' N.), on the 14th December, and 

 two males on the 10th January following. 



3. Salatura genutia, Gramer. 



Both sexes at Myadoung, on the Irrawaddy (lat. 23" 43' N.), 

 on the 4th January.
