Mr. A. G. Butler on Butterflies 



XII. — On a Collection of Butterflies from Ntkkoj Central 

 Japan. By Arthur G. Butler, F.L.S., F.Z.S., &c. 



The following is an account of a large series of Butterflies 

 collected by Mr. Charles Maries in Nippon (or Niphon) Island, 

 and certainly one of the richest of any collection which has 

 hitherto come to England, since it contains no less than 118 

 species. 



Mr. Maries also collected in the island of Yesso, where he 

 obtained the Satyrus Schrenchii of M^netries and other rare 

 species, and again in the province of Kiukiang, China, where 

 he captured a good series of Papilio alebion, a new species 

 allied to the latter, a pair of Luchdorfia puziloij and other 

 rarities, all of which are now in the collection of the British 

 Museum.
