 This variety agrees in the size and distinctness of the cretaceous white 

 markings of the upperside best with specimens from Silhet, Sibsagar, and 

 Burmali on the Indian mainland, but differs from them, as indeed it does 

 from all specimens in the Museum, in the large amount of rich golden 

 yellow at the outer margin on both sides of the posterior wings : the marginal 

 and submarginal flavous spots seen at the anal angle of the wing in most 

 continental specimens are in this case so completely run together on botli 

 sides as to have left only a small central spot of the black ground-colour 

 that separates them from one another in continental specimens ; they are 

 succeeded by a series of six (incisural) marginal spots of the same colour ; 

 the submarginal lunules are much larger and more spear-shaped and, more- 

 over, sullied with yellow, especially the one near the anal blotch : on the 

 underside, the marginal golden yellow spots are larger and tend to coalesce 

 with the hastate submarginal inarkings, which consequently are more 

 suffused with yellow than they are on the upperside. 

 A single male.

 " S . Wings above cretaceous-white, the anterior ones black at the 

 insertion, scarcely tinged witli greenish at the base, with five black bands 

 commencing at the anterior margin and cutting the cell, the first basal, 

 extending to the inner margin, the second rather broader, also extending 

 to the inner margin, and emitting a short conical process at the origin of 

 the first median veinlet, the third scarcely broader, extending to the median 

 Tein, the fourth narrower, triangular, reaching or all but reaching the 

 median vein, the fifth much the broadest of all, triangular, divided anterior- 

 ly into two forks by a curved narrow decreasing and interrupted band of 

 the ground-colour running from the costal vein to the third median veinlet, 

 extending to the inner margin, separated from the black outer marginal 

 band by a band of tlie ground-colour divided by the black veins and very 

 slightly if at all narrowing from the anterior margin up to the second 

 median veinlet, whence it gradually decreases in width and distinctness to
