in it. The marginal band of the wings is deeper in general coloration, 

 certainly on the black side of brown, with somewhat lighter clouds in 

 it, while towards the anal angle of the hindwings about half this band 

 is practically wanting, or very ill-defined. The central, transverse, 

 narrow band of the forewing is of the same blackish-brown, but ill- 

 defined, irregularly and obscurely extended especially on the right fore- 

 wing and towards the inner margin of both forewings. Across and on 

 the disc of all the wings this black marking is scattered mainly in 

 irregular, ill-defined streaks, those of the hindwings being fewer and 

 wider, the left hindwing having the costal half more uniformly 

 clouded and the inner marginal half comparatively clear of this 

 streaking and clouding. I suggest for this recurrent form the name 

 intermedia-fumosa. — Hy. J. Turner.

 left the hospital in Athens and hopes to recuperate in Crete, Rhodes, 

 Cyprus, and perhaps Smyrna in the early part of the year. He
