from Borneo, in which island but two or three localities have been 

 anything like worked, more than half as many species as have 

 been found in the extensive region of which his book treats. In 

 ' Ehopalocera Malayana' Mr. Distant has recorded 133 species of 

 the family, so that with these facts one may conclude that the 

 Liiannidce are very well represented in Borneo. Mr. II. J, Elwes 

 has expressed his opinion that when the higher mountain-ranges 

 of Java, .Sumatra, Borneo, &c. come to be explored there will 

 be found to be a considerable resemblance between the butterflies 

 inhabiting them and those of the Himalayas ; and so far as the 

 LifCii^nida'. are concerned 1 think a perusal of the following pages 

 will confirm this. 



Besides the number of types of Bornean species which are con- 

 tained in Messrs. Godman and tSalvin's collection, Dr. Staudiiiger 

 has kindl}' sent me the whole of his types of Palawan species de- 

 scribed in • Iris,' vol. ii., which I have found very useful and in 

 some cases absolutely necessary for correct identification. 



The arrangement here followed is that of Mr. de Niceville's 

 admirable work, 'The Butterflies of India, Bunnah, and Ceylon.'
