A genus of " orange tips " which with Hehomoia practically replaces Callosune 

 in the Indo-Malayan Piegion, and extends to some of the Austro-Malayan Islands, 

 though in India and Ceylon the ranges of these three genera overlap. 



Captain E. Y. Watson, in a paper published in the Journal of the Bombay 

 Natural History Society, 1894, pp. 489-527, puts all the Indian members of the 

 genus Ixias into three species, making all the other described forms, varieties, 

 seasonal, or local forms, of one or other of these three species (his first species, VevatrLv 

 Wallace, is not Indian but from Java). We agree with Dr. A. G. Butler as expressed 

 in the Annals and Magazine of Natural History, 1898, p. 136, that it is diflicult to 

 comprehend Captain Watson's meaning, because, as is shown in this work, all the 

 species herein treated with, have their own seasonal forms, and if it wore for no other 

 reason, for the sake of convenience, each of these species or races, or forms (or what- 

 ever one may like to call them) must have a name ; no doubt they all originated from
