 (Plate IX.) 



The contents of this paper show the results of two years' daily 

 collections and observations made by me personally at Poona and 

 Bombay in 1882-83, and also for a short time in 1877. At the 

 latter place I kept a large number of breeding-cages and had a great 

 many Moths ; and Mr. Taplin did the same on my account at Poona, 

 and collected very largely for me at that place during the time my 

 duties kept me in Bombay. Out of the two years I remained ten 

 months in Poona, and the remainder of the time in Bombay ; and 

 during the whole period I had a trained native collector in my 

 employment, who collected every day, and I have kept a careful 

 record of the numbers of each description of Butterfly and Moth 

 captured by him each day ; I can therefore certify to the absolute 

 correctness of the dates given, and whenever it is stated that any 

 particular insect occurs from, say, May to December, it means that I 

 actually got that insect in every month from May to December. 



Mr. Kennedy collected for me at Ahmednuggur, and Major 

 Hughes and Mr. Skinner at Belgaum. I brought home over ten 

 thousand duplicates, all of which have been set up and carefully 

 compared ; and I have given types of every insect mentioned in this 

 paper to the British Museum. 



Lord Walsingham has very kindly worked out the Tineina and 

 Tortrices ; and Mr. Butler and Mr. Moore have given me great 

 assistance in examining the national collection and the magnificent 

 private collection of the latter.
