Dr. T. V. Campbell has forwarded a long series of specimens 

 collected on the Nilgiri Hills which show a great variety in 

 coloration bevorid that of the seven typical examples received trotn 

 the same region as originally described. Some of these newly 

 acquired specimens conform to the pale coloration of the type ;. 

 others are very much darker in hue, with the whole upper surface 

 more or less suffused with piceous or even black : even more 

 variable is the colour of the legs in these later specimens, some 

 conform to the typical specimens, others have the intermediate 

 and posterior femora black with their apices ochraceous, and with 

 the apices of the tibias and tarsi also black.
