specimens the four upper ocelli are less conspicuous than in 

 Watson's figure. 



37. M, (Samundra) anaxioides, Marshall and de Nicdville. 

 Two males caught flying together on a stream, on the road 



between Myawaddee and Kaukarit, in Upper Tenasserim, in 

 February. One is the dry weather form, and one is apparently 

 a form intermediate between the wet and dry season forms. 



38. M. (Gareris) santana, Moore. 



The dry season form only has been caught by me in 

 Tenasserim. Rare. 



39. M. (Sadarga) charaka, Moore. 



The wet season form was abundant at one spot in 

 November, 1887, near Bhamo. I have since taken the dry 

 season form on occasions in the Upper Chindwin district. 



40. M. (Orsotri^na) medus, Fabricius. 



Both wet and dry season forms are common in Burmah. 

 In the dry season form the white bar on the under side is 

 often obsolete. 



41. M. (Calysisme) PERSEUS, Fabricius. 



Both wet and dry season forms of this butterfly are very 

 common throughout Burmah. 



Note. — I am not satisfied with Mr. Moore's discrimination of the 

 species of Calysisme by means of the '• position, size, and colour of the 

 glandular patches in the males." These patches appear to me to change 

 in colour from pale yellow through all shades of brown to black, and to 

 vary in size in different individuals of the same so-called species. In one 

 specimen in my collection which cannot be separated from this genus the 

 patch of scales on the underside of the fore-wing is absent altogether. The 

 identity or otherwise of these species ? can only be determined by a very 

 extensive system of breeding under a variety ot conditions of climate. So 

 far as breeding, which is only in its infancy, is concerned, its tendency has 

 been to diminish the number of species. The females of the various species 

 or forms of Calysisme cannot be even approximately determined in our 

 present absence of knowledge ; and, as specimens of different forms of these 

 insects are found often inhabiting the same localities at the same season, I 

 am of the opinion that we have not yet sufficient materials for forming any 

 correct conclusion as to the identity or otherwise of the species ? dis- 

 criminated by Mr. Moore.
