1 must confess that the fact of the last five species occurring 

 togctlier in New Guinea, in conjunction with the fact that 

 similarly coloured species of the Nymphalid genus Mynes 

 occur there, is very suspicious. I cannot help thinking that 

 breeding experiments would tend greatly to reduce the 

 number of these "species^' in both genera.
