Celebesian C. flava ; for both C. jugurtJmia and G. crocale^ 

 together with a third yellower form, occur in Ceylon. 



When I wrote my monograph of the genus there was no 

 difficulty ; all the forms of the G. crocale type were associated 

 as one variable species, and G. catilla stood next as a well- 

 marked second species. Since then intermediate forms, appa- 

 rently constant, have turned up between G. crocale and G. 

 catilla, whilst collections have come to hand containing only 

 one or two of the supposed " varieties " in considerable num- 

 bers, showing that in certain localities these types are either 

 constant or prevalent ; thus assurance has turned to uncer- 

 tainty, and it has become necessary to specify the form 

 received when giving an account of a collection — another evi- 

 dence of the truism " the more we know the less we know."

G. pgranthe, with which this was identified, was formerly 

 associated with it ; that insect is, however, a narrower bor- 

 dered species, with slighter markings also on the female 

 primaries : both forms appear to be constant.

" Common round Campbellpore in the spring." — /. W. Y. 



According to De Niceville this is the spring brood of B. 

 lordaca (identified by him as B. mesentina) ; that this is 

 incorrect is evident from the fact that Col. Swinhoe took the 

 supposed autumn brood at Quetta in March and May, and 

 that its African representative, which I regard as the same 

 species, was taken in Somali-land in January and at Haithal- 

 kim in April ; we also have one male taken by Major Yerbury 

 at Campbellpore in June. It is an interesting fact that the 

 bulk of the supposed seasonal forms are incapable of being 

 tested by dates, that " dry- and wet-season forma " so called 

 are always coming to hand with the same date ot capture on
