the Joicey Collection taken by J. C. Kershaw in 1909, with 

 locality " Amboina." Taken at 3000 ft. to 6000 ft. 



Delias duris Hew., (^ ?. Always very rare. Taken at 

 6000 ft. 



Euploea dentiplaga Roths. (1915), c? ?• Taken at 2500 

 to 6000 ft. 



Ideopsis klassika Mart. (= stresemanni Roths. 1915), o ?• 

 Taken at 6000 ft. 



Limenitis staudingeri Ribbe, cj. This very rare and dis- 

 tinct species does not appear to have been recorded since 

 Ribbe made his Ceram Collection. Taken at 3000 ft. 



Erihoea subsp. nov. near jupiter Butl. A series was taken 

 at 6000 ft. It is of great interest to note that no specimens 

 of pyrrhus were sent. It is evident that two species at least 

 are mixed with the pyrrhus forms, and quite possibly a third. 

 The form shown is very close to jupiter, which we already 

 know from New Guinea, the neighbouring islands and Aru. 

 In jupiter Butl. we may have a distinct species. The so- 

 called races of pyrrhus now require revision, as one species 

 will be represented by sempronius Fbr., which is nearer to 

 jupiter than to piyr'"'^^'^^^ • 



Notes made by the Collectors. 

 Locality. — Central Ceram (within four days of Tehoro on 

 the South coast and five days of Wahai on the North coast). 

 From Tehoro, the place where our camp is placed is visible 

 as a cutting in the mountains. This is due to the extensive 

 felling of the jungle which we carried out. The camp is 

 just where the pass is, in the lowest part of the mountains, 

 and the mean altitude obtained from three aneroids is 6150 ft. 

 The nearest water obtainable on either side is 3000 ft. below. 

 The source of a mountain stream is said to be in a spot at 

 about 5000 ft., but it is quite impossible to make a path to 

 it on account of the precipitous nature of the country. In 

 parts there are sheer drops of 1000 ft. and more. A cocoanut 

 which slipped over was not seen nor heard again. All, of 

 course, is covered in primeval jungle. Rhododendrons are 

 found commonly growing among the trees. There are few 

 animals, and birds are not conspicuously present. The country
