50 Mr. A. G. Butler on Formosan Lepidoptera. 
VII.—On a Third Collection of Lepidoptera made by Mr. 
H. E. Hobson in Formosa. By ArtuurG. BUTLER, F.L.S., 
F.Z.8., &e. 
Towarps the end of last year I received a small box of 
Lepidoptera in envelopes from Mr. Hobson accompanied by a 
letter, of which the following is an extract :— 
“ Tamsiu, 
September 6, 1883. 
“ Dear Mr. Burter,—Having just been transferred from 
this to the north, I am sending you what moths &c. I have

down there. The moths are all from this end.”

not included in the present list. 
One of the most interesting additions to the fauna in the 
present consignment is Hestia clara, three examples of which

ample of Ornithoptera rhadamanthus was probably taken at 
the same time. 
The following is a list of the butterflies.
