Of the 258 species now registered from Malacca, thirty-sis 

 appear to be endemic ; of the remainder rather more than a fourth 

 occur either at Assam or Nepal, more than a seventh at Moul- 

 mein, less than a seventh at Ceylon, nearly two fifths (appa- 

 rently) in the islaud of Penang, about two elevenths at Singapore, 

 about three sevenths in Borneo, about three sixteenths in Sumatra, 

 more than a third in Java, about two thirteenths in Siam, rather 

 more than a tenth in China, two species in the New Hebrides, 

 and six in Australia. Thus Malaccan Butterflies preponderate 

 towards those of the Indian region.
