Seasomal VAEIATION. — " In this genus seasonal variation is shown in the greater 

 prominence of all the dark markings on the upperside and in the much richer 

 coloration of the underside in the rainy-season forms, the general tone of the under- 

 side of the dry-season forms being, in most species, of a much greyer shade ; the 

 difference iia size is also very marked" (Watson, I.e. p. 494).
