manner. This being so, I was not a little sm-prised to see 

 Canon Norman's comment on the praiseworthy conduct of 

 Messrs. Marion and Milne-Edwards and the reflection that it 

 cast upon my own ; nor, when I thought over the implied 

 accusation against me of discourtesy, could I help feeling 

 slightly amused as the recollection of my letter passed through 

 my mind. But if I were to assume that Canon Norman 

 received my letter and had not the — shall I say ? — courtesy to 

 answer it, and were to suggest that if my mode of dealing 

 with his manuscript name was discourteous his treatment of 

 my letter is deserving of a much harsher epithet, I think the 

 assumption would be very unjust and the suggestion a very 

 unmannerly one. I shall consequently make neither, but 

 shall conclude that my letter never reached its destination ; 

 for seemingly this is the only conclusion that explains to 

 Canon Norman's credit the fact that the sole reply received to 

 my private letter was a public, though guarded, accusation 

 of discourtesy.

 first discoidal or radial nervule, then slanting slightly down 

 to the third median nervule. 



There is a white patch along the inner margin of the fore 

 wing, extending a little above the submedian nervure. 



The hind wing has a broad border of black along the mar- 

 gin to the internal nervure, with a broad black bar from the 

 end of the costal nervure to the border. 



The underside has this bar distinctly marked, with a second 

 black bar from the base of the hind wing to the submedian 

 nervuro ; there is a third bar which begins from the inner
