  in 
  the 
  localities 
  shown 
  in 
  the 
  accompanying 
  tabular 
  state- 
  

   ment. 
  Accompanying 
  them 
  were 
  two 
  examples 
  of 
  Tinimala 
  

   7ieptunia, 
  Feld., 
  both 
  transitional 
  towards 
  the 
  New 
  Hebrides 
  

   form 
  moderata, 
  Butl. 
  One 
  of 
  these 
  and 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  male 
  

   proserpina 
  exhibited 
  symmetrical 
  injuries 
  to 
  the 
  hind-wings, 
  

   indicating 
  attack 
  by 
  birds 
  or 
  lizards 
  ; 
  the 
  other 
  neptunia 
  and 
  

   a 
  second 
  male 
  proserpina 
  were 
  asymmetrically 
  injured, 
  

   probably 
  by 
  the 
  same 
  cause. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Simmonds 
  wrote 
  on 
  June 
  7, 
  1919, 
  that 
  " 
  Waidoi 
  is 
  in 
  

   the 
  very 
  wet 
  district 
  where 
  butterflies 
  are 
  very 
  rare, 
  probably 
  

   owing 
  to 
  the 
  absence 
  of 
  sunshine. 
  The 
  Tirutnala 
  flies 
  with 
  the 
  

   Euploeas 
  and 
  is 
  very 
  difiicult 
  to 
  distinguish 
  when 
  on 
  the 
  wing. 
  

   They 
  occur 
  as 
  1 
  to 
  20 
  or 
  30 
  of 
  the 
  two 
  Euploeas. 
  The 
  common 
  

   Euploea 
  has 
  a 
  strong 
  smell 
  of 
  Dumb-nettle 
  when 
  crushed." 
  

   The 
  table 
  below 
  showed 
  that 
  all 
  three 
  species 
  fly 
  together.
