Notes. 



C. saraya is almost certainly a 

 variety of taylorii tiled. -s. f. of 

 ransonnettii. I have specimens 

 agreeing with saraya from the 

 Dun. C. alida and ransonnettii 

 seem to run into one another. 

 There is a specimen in the B. 

 M. marked ' kuki, Bing., Loo- 

 shai Hills, to be described in 

 part in Butterflies, Fauna of 

 India "; until more specimens 

 are obtained it should be re- 

 garded as an ab. of alida.

The form khasiana of ravi, with 

 more or less white on the 

 hindwing below is merely 

 seasonal. 

 -=athos, PI.: mee- The alica-gana group is rather 

 tana, M. confusing. T. alica was descri- 



bed from the Andamans and 

 is inseparable from athos, PI. 

 from Sylhet ; meetana, M. is 

 from Tenasserim and is rather 

 paler. T. distans (=? obscurus 

 Mab, Java) was described from 

 Calcutta and differs somewhat 

 from alica, the translucent 

 spots on the forewing are pro- 

 minent and the upper bJack 

 discal spot on the hindwing 

 below is well separated from 

 the lower spots and not in line 

 with them. T. gana was de- 

 scribed from Java and only 

 differs from alica in having a 

 large snow white area on the 

 hindwing above. Indian spe- 

 cimens are smaller : there are 

 in the.B. M. specimens of gana 

 from Ceylon, which ought, I 

 suppose, to be referred to dis- 

 tans. I have placed alica dis- 

 tans and gana as separate 

 species following Elwes, bus 

 I think that they will eventu- 

 ally prove to be races of a 

 single variable species.
