In working out some of the more obscure Moths, Sir George 

 Hampson has kindly assisted ine, both by the loan of pamphlets 

 and by personal examination of structural characters. 



The following is a list of the species obtained : 



I. EHOPALOCEEA. 

 NYMPHALID^E.

The specimen from Voi is about one-third larger than any cf 

 the others, and one of the specimens obtained on the 20th December 

 is a transitional form towards var. dorippus, Klug.
