BUTTERFLIES FROM THE CHIN HILLS. 687 



Owing to the wide range of the species of this group, not much clue 

 to their affinities can be given. 



To sum up, it may be concluded that the butterflies found at low 

 elevations are chiefly Burmese in their characteristics with a slight 

 North-East Indian strain, while those from high elevations are much 

 more Himalayan, and their Burmese affinities are very little marked.
