156 MESSRS. GODMAN AND SALVIN ON BUTTERFLIES [Feb. 18, 



bring before the Society the results of an examination of a second col- 

 lection from the same source. Mr. Brown has carefully noted the 

 island on which each specimen was obtained ; so that we are enabled, 

 to a considerable extent, to remedy a defect in our former communica- 

 tion. The whole of the present collection was formed ou the large 

 islands of New Britain and New Ireland, the majority of the specimens 

 coming from the latter, a large portion of the collection from the 

 former having met with a mishap. As we hope Mr. Brown will con- 

 tinue his explorations in this very promising field, it is perhaps prema- 

 ture to investigate in detail the difference between the butterfly faunas 

 of the two islands. We may, however, say that there are indications 

 of considerable differences between them. The total number of 

 species sent us by Mr. Brown from these two islands now amounts 

 to CO ; there still remein several described by Dr. Boisduval from New 

 Ireland which have not yet come to hand. 



* ' Danais AusTRALis, Godm. & Salv. P. Z. S. 1877, p. 141. 

 New Ireland. 



* Danais sobrina, Salv. et Godm. P. Z. S. 1877, p. Nl. 

 New Ireland. 



3. Danais plexippus, Linn. Mug. Ulr. p, 262. 



New Ireland. 



Several specimens, agreeing accurately with N. -American examples. 

 On the range of this species see Mr. Distant's paper (Trans. Eut. Soc. 

 1877, p. 93), where he uses Cramer's name D. archippus for it. 



4. *Euplcea unibrunnea, Salv. et Godm. P. Z. S. 1877, p. 141. 



New Ireland. 



Mr. Brown sends us a female specimen which, besides the charac- 

 teristic sexual differences, is paler than the male and has the spots on 

 the under surface rather larger. 



5. *Eupl(ea browni, Salv. et Godm. P. Z. S. 1877, p. 142. 

 New Britain. 



A female specimen, which, except as regards the sexual distinctions, 

 resembles the male. 



6. Euplcea pasithea, Feld. Beis. Nov. p. 318. 

 New Britain. 



Several examples of both sexes; they differ slightly from Ceram 

 specimens in having all the spots on the underside smaller, and in 

 having but a single submarginal row at the apex of the primaries. 



7. Euplcea erimas. (Plate XV. fig. 1.) 



Euplcea erimas, Godm. et Salv. P. Z. S. 1878, p. 733. 

 New Ireland. 



' An asterisk prefixed to a name denotes that, the species was inclufler] in our 

 former paper.
