So far as they are concerned, I think, the coins need not be older than 

 the 10th century. 



The following papers were read — 



1. A collection of Kashmiri Biddies. — By the Rev. J. H. Knowles, of 

 Kashmir, postponed from last meeting. 



This paper will be published in the Journal, Part I, for 1887. 



2. On some new species of Ficus from Sumatra. — By Dr. George 

 King. 



3. On the species of Loranthus indigenous to Per ah. — By the same. 

 These papers will be published in the Journal, Part II, for 1887.

Zophoessa Ramadeva, n. sp. 



Habitat : Sikkim. 



Expanse : cf, 2*4 inches. 



Description : d*. Allied to Z. baladeva, Moore, from Sikkim and to 

 Z. andersoni, Atkinson, from Upper Burma. From the former it differs 

 on the underside of the forewing in the absence of the short yellow 

 streaks at the base and apex of the discoidal cell, the streak across the 

 middle of the cell and the discal streak are broader and of a deeper shade 

 of yellow ; on the hindwing it differs in the absence of the subbasal 

 streak from the costal to the median nervure, the streak along the sub- 

 median nervure and the narrow discal line beyond the cell : in all these 

 characters it agrees with the latter species, but differs therefrom in the 

 colour of the ground of the underside, which instead of being " bright 

 ferruginous " is of a greenish-brown, and instead of having all the 

 bands pure silvery the third band from the base in the forewing, the 

 discal band on the hindwing as far as the median nervure, and the 

 band placed inwardly against the series of submarginal ocelli are alone 

 silvery. Differs also from Z. andersoni bat agrees with Z. baladeva in 

 having on the underside of the forewing a submarginal series of six 

 small perfect ocelli : the series of ocelli on the hindwing also are larger 

 and better formed than in Z andersoni. 



A single specimen is in my collection taken by Mr. Otto Moller's 

 native collectors in August in Sikkim, probably in native territory. Z. 

 baladeva is a very constant species, of which I possess many specimens, 

 some taken in Sikkim in September, so Z. ramadeva can hardly be a 

 seasonal form of that species.
