The larva and pupa of E. Gorus figured on our Plate 37, fig. 1, are copied from 

 the drawings made by Mr. B. L. Layard in Ceylon, and were erroneously figured in the 

 Catalogue of the Lepidoptera in Mus. B. I. Company, vol. i. pi. 4, figs. 8, 8a (1857), 

 as those of E. Prothoe. 



Habits op Imago.— According to Capt. Hutchison (Lep. Ceyl. i. 12) " Occurs on 

 low ground at Colombo among hedges round the native gardens at any time, but not 

 very common. Of slow heavy flight ; settles on leaves and easily caught." Capt. 

 Wade {id. p. 12) " found it commonly at Gralle, among cocoanut trees and low 

 bushes ; " and Mr. F. M. Mackwood writes that it is " a low country butterfly, being 

 generally found near the sea or Mangrove swamps."
