The Lepidoptera comprised in this collection consist of 208 

 species of Butterflies and 64 species of Moths. Of the Butter- 

 flies, one third of the number are species that are common to 

 both the Continent of India and the Malay Peninsula. About 

 one fourth are confined to Burmah and the Malay Peninsula, and 

 about one eighth extend northward to the Khasia Hills ; the re- 

 maining one fourth, so far as is yet known, being Burmese — 

 some few of these latter species also extending, on the one hand, 

 to Siam, and two or three, on the other hand, to the Andamans and 

 Ceylon. Of the 64 species of Moths, one third are also common 

 to India and the Malay Peninsula, one fourth are Burmese and 

 Malayan, and one fourth extend northward, three only being 

 strictly Burmese.
