1{)G Mr. J. (J. Moulton on the RhopcCocera 



Brassolinre, in ser. 8, vol. i. (Jan. 1908) Ann. & Mag. Nat. 

 Hist. pp. 3m— 42. Tlie genera have been placed in the ordei" 

 of Godnian and Salviu's Lepidopteia Rhopalocera in the 

 ' Biologia (Jentrali-Americana.' As on previous occasions, 

 mucli kind help has been afforded in the identification ot" 

 several specimens by Mr. F. A. Heron, of the British 

 Museum. The species of the genus Ancea were kindly 

 determined for the Hope Department by Mr. Herbert Druce, 

 F.L.S. 



The arrangement of numbers and dates is carefully ex- 

 ])lained in Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 7, vol. xiii. (April 

 1904) pp. 309, 310. The following additional statements 

 are quoted from ser. 8, vol. i. p. 34 : — " Notes, other 

 than numbers and dates, written on labels attached to the 

 specimens are placed between inverted commas immediately 

 after the numbers in heavy type, and immediately before the 

 locality." " When a specimen bears a number only, the 

 date, recovered from Burchell's note-book, is placed between 

 pquare brackets. * a.' and ' p.' associated with the date 

 stand for ' A.M.' and ' P.M.' " 



One or more specimens of each species have been compared 

 Avith tlie British Museum series, and in the case of any doubt 

 with the Godman-Salvin Collection also. 



Westvvood's list of Burchell's Nymphalidse, which corre- 

 sponds to the subfamily Nymphalime, contains 101 numbers. 

 All of these do not, however, refer to Nymplialinse, as there 

 are four numbers (N. 47, N. 47*, N. 55, and N. 56) devoted 

 to two Danainge {Anosia enj)pus, Cr., and Tasitia gilippus, 

 Cr. (140-187), one (N. 39) to a Libijihea, and two (N. 18 

 = 446-450, N. 20* = 451) to two Brassolinte. On the other 

 hand, copies of the data of the following Nymphalinge have 

 l)een obtained from his list of " Burchell's Acraea, etc." : — 

 Tiie numbers A. 5, A. 6, A. 7 refer to three species of IHresia, 

 A. 11 to Victor irid stele nes, Linn., A. 15, A. 16 to two species 

 of Colcem's, A. 19 to Metamor^jha dido, Linn., A. 20, A. 22 

 to two species of Dione. The dates of the specimens under 

 four numbers of the list of Acra3inge &c. are very incomplete ; 

 but two small slips of paper in Westwood's handwriting give 

 a full list of the dates which should have appeared under two 

 of these, namely Dione juno^ Cram., and ALetamorpha dido, 

 Linn. It seems probable that there were two other lists, 

 probably on slips of paper equally small, for the two remaining 

 species, Dione vatiillce, Linn., and Colcem's Julia, F., and 

 that these have since been lost. One da'te has been obtained 

 Irom Westwood's list of Eryciuidai (E. 70, Phyciodes dicoma. 

 Hew.) and one from his list of Morphiiue (M. 21, Prepona
