(Plate XLIV.) 



Mr. W. Wykeham Perry (H.M.S. 'Pearl') has recently sent 

 home a small collection of Butterflies recently taken by himself in 

 the South Seas. Of the seven species taken by him, two prove to 

 be new ; and as we have other unnamed Butterflies from the same 

 region in the collection of the British Museum, I have thought it 

 would be useful to draw up the following list, with descriptions of 

 the new species. 



Family Nymphalid^e. 



Subfamily Danain^e, Bates. 



Genus Danais, Latreille. 



1. Danais shenkii. 



Danais shenkii, Koch, Indo-Austr. Lep. Fauna, p. 107 (1865).

 Somewhat like D. pumila. 



2. Danais pumila. 



Danais pumila, Boisduval, Bull. Ent. Soc. France, p. 156. n. 6
