species from a male presented to H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh 
by a Spanish gentleman at Manilla; and in the following year the 
Society received in exchange a female of the same species which was 
said to have come from the Philippines. The exact island inhabited 
by this species remains, however, an open question. The skin and 
skeleton of the type of the species are preserved in the British Museum 
(76. 2. 30. and 1681 a); unfortunately the bones are in such bad 
condition that I have found it impossible to form a clear idea of the 
cranial characters ; but, so far as it is possible to judge from this 
single specimen, the skull of Cervus alfredi resembles that of Cervus 
nigricans much more closely than it does that of Cervus philippinus.

[Received January 26, 1877.] 
The following species of Butterflies appear to us to be undescribed. 
Figures of all of them have been prepared, and will be published at a 
future time in a work on which we are now engaged. In the mean 
time we issue these preliminary descriptions to enable us to inscribe 
the proper names on our Plates.

1. EuTRESIS THEOPE. 
3. Exp. 37 in. Closely allied to #. hyperia (Dbd. and Hew. Gen. 
Diurn. Lep. i. p. 112, Suppl. plate, f. 2), but differing from that 
species in the general tint of the orange red of the wings being duller, 
in having the whole of the central portion of the posterior wings semi- 
transparent ; the dark markings of the central portion of the anterior 
wings are more restricted, and the dark margin of the hind wings 
much narrower.

2. NAPEOGENES HEMIMELANA. 
. Exp. 2°3 in. Allied to N. peridia, Hew. (Ex. B. i. Ith. 4, 
f. 20), but differing in having the two middle of the four bands of 
yellow spots of the anterior wings blended into one large spot, 
and another smaller one lying between the second and third median 
branches. On the hind wings the large yellow apical patch of N. 
peridea is reduced to two minute spots, and the marginal row of 
yellow spots is much smaller than in that species. :

Besides the single specimen in our collection we have only seen 
one other, a male, in that of Dr. Staudinger of Dresden.
