In October, 1892, on the Daunat Eange, Central Tenasserin, Burma 

 I observed a female of the allied Leptocircus mages, Zinken-Sammer' 

 ovipositing on the underside of the leaves of a creeper with compound 

 leaves, each leaf consisting of three leaflets, the Illigera burmannica of 

 King, Natural Order Combretacese. The egg is spherical, smooth, pale 

 green, almost transparent, and of the usual papilionid form. Unfor 

 tunalely I was not able to breed the larva.
