ICHTHTOPHIS GLUTINOSUS. 



Peters, in his recent monograph* of the Caecilians, gives as localities 

 for this species (the Epicrmm glutinosum of Giinther's ' Reptiles of British 

 India,' p. 441,) Ceylon, Siam, and Java, and, on Giinther's authority, South 

 India, Khasi hills, and Tenasserim. So far as I am aware, no Pseudophi- 

 dian has hitherto been recorded from the Himalayas. 



I received four or five years since, from the late Mr. Mandelli, two 

 specimens of this species, obtained near Darjiling, and I find, in the British 

 Museum, two more from the same locality, procured by Dr. Jerdon. In 

 both my specimens, and in one of Dr. Jerdon's, the lateral band is wanting, 

 but there is no structural difference from other specimens.

 (With Plate XIV.) 

 At the end of 1880, we contributed to this Journal an account of the 

 Rhopalocerous portion of the collection of Lepidopterous insects formed 

 during that year for the Indian Museum by Mr. F. A. de Roepstorff, an 

 Assistant Superintendent on the Port Blair Establishment, to whose energe- 

 tic labours zoologists are almost entirely indebted for such knowledge as 

 they possess of the interesting Lepidopterous fauna of the Andaman Islands, 

 for by far the greater number of the specimens belonging to both divisions 

 of the order reported upon in 1877 by Mr. F. Moore was also collected by 

 this officer. The collection sent to us in 1880 by Mr. de Roepstorff: com- 

 prised no less than 90 distinct species, of which 25 had not been previously 

 recorded. The present list is based upon a very fine collection (numbering 

 more than 1000 specimens in the finest condition, and especially valuable as 

 furnishing us with the opposite sexes of most of the species) sent to the 

 Museum in instalments during the current year by the same assiduous 

 collector, and it adds 22 fresh species to the fauna. In order to render it a 

 record complete to the end of the year 1881 of the species of butterflies 

 inhabiting the Andaman Islands, several corrections have been made in 

 the paper since it was read, and a few additional species, together with the 

 names of the few forms which have been recorded by Mr. Moore^but not
