2. Notes on the Butterflies of India. — By Majok G. F. L. 

 Marshall, E. E. 



Since the publication of the first Part of Vol. I, of *' The Butterflies 

 of India, Burmah and Ceylon,"* a small collection and Home notes have 

 been sent by Captain C. H. E. Adamson from Akyab, which furnish some 

 additional information as to the distribution of some of the I)anaino&. 



No. 5. Hestia cadelli. A single male specimen of a Hestia was taken 

 on the sea coast at Akyab, which. Captain Adamson writes, corresponded 

 mark for mark with the figure given of this species (PI. IV, fig. 2 $). 

 I have not seen the specimen, but I feel convinced that it must really 

 have belonged to the form named agamarschana which has recently been 

 taken in the Mergui archipelago. In either case the occurrence of a Hestia 

 of this type so far north is worthy of note. 



No. 20. Danais tytia. Captain Adamson remarks that this, in 

 Tenasserim as in India, is a hill insect, comparatively rare, and that in the 

 plains it is replaced by D. melaneus which is far commoner. 



No 24. Danais gautama. Captain Adamson sends several specimens 

 taken at one locality on the seashore at Akyab where they were in com- 

 pany with D. genutia, D. hegesippus, D. chrysippus and D. septentrtonis 

 wliich were all abundant at that one spot. He writes, " Had I not been 

 S2)ecially looking for them I should have passed them over as D. septen- 

 trionis, but now I can tell the difference at once on the wing : D. gautama 

 shows much less blue when on the wing and is more like I>. aglcea in 

 appearance, except for its larger size." 



No. 34. Danais hegesippus. Captain Adamson has taken a curious 

 variety of this species with an additional white spot below the subapical 

 series in the fulvous space between the first median nervule and submedian 

 nervure : only three specimens of this variety were taken and all at the 

 same spot. 



No. 40. Euploea margarita. A specimen from Moulmein of typical 

 margarita has the forewing with only two minute white marginal spots
