Tiiere were a few specimens from Yokohama in Fryer's 

 collection. I obtained the species at Nemoro and Shikotan 

 in August, at Nikko in beptember, and at Oiwake in 

 October. Specimens were received from Moupin and Che- 

 tou, taken in June, and also from the island of Kiushiu. 



AH tlie Japanese specimens of L. truncata in my collection 

 are modifications of the type form varying in two directions — 

 one graduating towards cinereata {corussaria), and the other 

 leads up to a variety in which the basal third of the primaries 

 is blacki.'^ii hrown intersected by a dingy rust-coloured band ; 

 the central fascia is almost white, the apical patch is unusually 

 large and agrees with the base in colour. The form last 

 referred to is from Uiwake, Yokohama, Kiushiu, and Moupin. 

 The cinereata form is represented by specimens from Ne- 

 moro, Shikotan, Kiushiu, and Che-tou.
