o5. Lethe eohria, Fabriclus. 

 Fairly common in the Upper Chindwin, and a single specimen from 

 3,500 feet in Jnno. 



3G. Lethe (Tansima) verma, Kollar. 

 Two specimens from 5,500 feet in May, and also from Manipur. 



37. Lethe (Sinchula) sidonis, Hewitson. 

 Two quite typical males from Manipur. 



38. Patala yama, Moore. 

 A single pair from 5,000 feet in May. These specimens had evi- 

 dently just emerged, and the species probably occurred more commonly 

 later in the j'^ear. Presumably the form found in the Chin Hills 

 belongs to the local race named P. yamoides by Moore, but my speci- 

 mens agree in some points with P.yama, and in others with P. yamoides^ 

 so that the local race does not seem of much value even as a local 

 race, and identification is rendered more difficult by the fact that tho 

 figures given of the two races do not bear out the descriptions. 

 39. Patala bhima, Marshall. 

 Common in the Upper Chindwin in April, but only on the wing for 

 about three weeks in good condition. 



40. Ypthima baldus, Fabriclus. 

 Common in the Upper Chindwin and up to 3,500 feet ; the dry- 

 season form in March and the rainy-season form from April to June. 

 Mr. Elwes, in his recent revision of Ypthima, tries to prove that the true 

 T. baldus of Fabricius is tho Y. tabella of Marshall and de Niceville. 

 His chain of argument is however very weal?:, and he has quite over- 

 looked the fact that in the Banksian Collection in the British 

 Museum, which is said to contain many of Fabricius' types, there 

 is an Ypthima which, if not Fabricius' type of Y. haldus, was, at 

 any rate, almost certainly identified by Fabricius as Y. haldits, and is so 

 labelled. This is certainly stronger proof of the identity of the true 

 Y. haldus than the arguments brought forward by Elwes, which are 

 based first on a figure of Donovan (quite probably erroneous) of the 

 P. 5«Wits of Fabricius, which figure is '' a fair representation" of the 

 species hitherto known as Y. tabella^ and secondly on a specimen of 

 Y. tahella in the Godman-Salvin collection which is labelled " Lisander, 

 Cr." " on a manuscript label evidently of the Fabrician period," the 

 P. lysandra of Cramer having been placed by Westwood as a synonym
