There is therefore nothing in the Lepidoptera received in 

 the present collection, with the exception of the Malayan 

 genus Prothoe and the new species of Hiposcritia, which 

 might not have been obtained at Assam ; even the presence 

 of Prothoe in Assam would not astonish me, since not a few 

 Malayan types range quite as far northwards, even the same 

 species being caught in Assam and Borneo ; the present series 

 from the vicinity of Assam fully bears out this fact. 



Dr. Watt fully expected to remain at Manipur for three 

 years, but was most unfortunately recalled soon after his 

 arrival there ; so that the collection is doubtless by no means 

 so complete as we could wish ; still, as next to nothing is 

 known of its fauna, every addition must needs be welcome, 

 and, considering how little opportunity Dr. Watt had of 

 making a collection at all, owing to numerous other occupa- 

 tions, the series of species sent home by him is by no means 

 an insignificant one.
