Moore, and N. nata, Moore, which are restricted to the latter. Of the 

 Nymphalinse the species of this genus are earliest on the wing, and do not 

 appear at all to mind the leaves being wetted with rain or dew. After a 

 shower they will appear immediately, and even fly when there is no sun. 

 Wherever there are a few trees or bushes along the roads, in gardens, 

 and in fact practically everywhere they may be found, weakly sailing 

 about and frequently settling ; apparently highly protected as they shew 

 no fear whatever. 



172. Cirrhochroa orissa, Felder. 



Grose Smith. Hagen. In the male on the upperside of the fore- 

 wing the first median nervule and submedian nervure, and the subcos- 

 tal nervules of the hindwing are for soRie distance on both sides defined 

 by a fine ochreous line, the veins themselves being black. Occurs only 

 in forest, but not at high elevations, not higher than Namoe Oekor ; 

 very common at Selesseh in June and August. 



373. Cirrhochroa satellita, Butler. 



Hagen. The male has no secondary sexual characters. It is 

 rarer than C. orissa, Felder ; occurs only in forests, and at still lower 

 elevations in July. It is weaker on the wing than that species. 



174. Cirrhochroa clagia, Godart. 



Snellen. Distant. In the male on the upperside of both wino-s 

 the veins where they cross the disc are more or less black, and in the 

 fore wing they are defined on both sides with ochreous for a short 

 distance on entering the broad black marginal border. Occurs only 

 at elevations over 1,000 feet, higher than Namoe Oekor, found at 

 Bekantschan and Soengei Batoe in May, July, and September. Is the 

 rarest of all the species of Cirrhochroa occurring in Sumatra. 



175. Cirrhochroa bajadeta, Moore. 



Snellen, Hagen. The male has no secondary sexual characters. 

 Is found everywhere in October in forest, and also in places where a 

 small piece of the original forest has been left, as does Cupha erymanthis, 

 Drury. The males are prone to visit damp spots on roads. 



176. Cirrhochroa malaya, Felder. 



Hagen. Wallace. Mr. Distant remarks that " Specimens will be 



obtained of a completely intermediate character between G. bajarfefa 



and G. malaya." I have seen none such in Sumatra, in fact, G. malaya 



appeai-s to me more nearly allied to C. mithila, Moore, than to 



J. ii. 52
