Under side. 



28. THE RINGLET. The hind margin of the 

 fore wings is rounded, that of the hind wings 

 slightly scalloped ; the colour of all the wings 

 is dark sepia-brown or smoky black, with an 

 indication, and nothing more, of the ocellated 

 spots I am about to describe as present on the 

 under side. The under side is uniform umber- 

 brown, sprinkled with fulvous scales suffi- 

 ciently numerous to tinge the whole under 

 surface slightly with fulvous. There is a 

 series of eight circular spots parallel with the 

 hind margin ; three of these are on the fore 

 wings and five on the hind wings ; the two 

 spots on the hind wings which most nearly 

 approach the fore wings stand rather farther 

 from the hind margin than the other three, 

 and are generally united ; all these spots are 

 black, with a white pupil and a very pale 

 circumscriptioii.
