ringed with whitish or ochreous lilacine and not Avith bright lilacino 

 as in the wet season form ; the areas between the upper two spots and the 

 termen whitish and diffuse. Hindwing, the discoidal band anteriorly and 

 the di^cal band posteriorly bordered with rich chocolate brown, the latter 

 band more angled at its middle than in the wet season form ; the areas 

 between the discal and discoidal bands and the basal area extending to 

 the tornus rich grey and the area between the submarginal spots and the 

 submarginal line pale chocolate brown ; the submarginal ocelli are more 

 elongated than in the wet season form especially the apical one and the 

 second from the bottom, all the ocelli except the upper one, which is blind, 

 have the j)upils more or less disintegrated. Each ocellus separately ringed 

 with whitish lilacine and not enclosed in a common bright lilacine band 

 as in the wet season form ; the marginal and svibmarginal lines are quite 

 distinct, of equal width and yellowish, the submarginal tinged with lilacine. 

 In size the dry season form averages larger than the wet season form. 



The drjr season form may at once be recognised by the underside, the 

 ground colour of which is dark chocolate and grey crossed by ochreous 

 lilacine bands, in the wet season form the ground colovir is uniformlj^ dull 

 brown with all the markings bright lilacine. 



30. Lethe verma, Kollar. — Very common from 5,000 feet to 7.000 feet 

 July to November. 



31. Lethe sidonis, Keivitson. — Males very common, females rather rare at 

 5,000 to 7,000 feet. Wet season forms were obtained from July to October 

 and large dry season forms in October, the latter do not agree with Moore's 

 figure or description, they are of a much lighter brown than the wet season 

 form on both surfaces ; on the underside of the hindwing the 2nd, 3rd and 

 4th ocelli from the top only have blurred lilacine centres ; two inter- 

 mediate forms were also taken in September and October, both are of the 

 same size as the wet season form but are as pale as the dry season form ; 

 in one form the ocelli of the hindwing resemble the rainy season form 

 and in the other they resemble the dry season form. 



32. Lethe siderea, Marshall. — A single male of this rare butterfly was 

 obtained on 21st September near Kohima at 6,500 feet. 



33. Lethe scanda, Moore. — Males not uncommon at 7,000 feet, I did not 

 obtain the female. 



34. Lethe bhairava, Moore. — A few specimens of both aexes were obtained 

 at 7,000 feet in September; from October to December the males are fairly 

 common, the females less so. 



35. Lethe guinihal, de N. — A single male was obtained at Gaspani, 1,700 

 feet in July. 



36. Lethe latiaris, Hewitson. — Occurs not uncommonly at 5,000 — 7,000 

 feet in September and October. Specimens of both sexes were captured 

 in mv garden at Kohima.
