The form quilta is not a very 

 satisfaotory one ; sankara gra- 

 duai.y changes from the West- 

 ern Hima ayas to Burma and 

 it is difficult to define the 

 iimit :! of any particular cace ; 

 the Burmese form differs just 

 as much from the Assam form, 

 as the atter does from the W. 

 . Hima.ayan form ; in Sikkim 

 typical sankara and quilta 

 occur.

There are ii specimens of ebusa, 

 a Philippine in ect, in the B. 

 M. from the Nicobars. 



The type of manasa remains 

 unique and I am convinced 

 that nyctea is inseparable 

 from it. There is a Neptis 

 in the B. M- from Sikkim and 

 I have 2 other? caught there 

 with nyctea, which I propose 

 to call mclha ; above it is simi- 

 lar to narayana but the spot at 

 base of 3 is missing on the 

 forewing : be ow it is pale och 

 reous marked as narayana but 

 the margina lines on the hind- 

 wing and the apical margins on 

 the forewing are obsolete, The 

 type of raeiba is in the B- M 



Mr. Bell, in IN. Kanara, has 

 found that hordonia has 2 

 forms of larva possibly repre- 

 senting 2 separate species
