what in all three specimens, those of the female being almost exactly the 

 same as in Leech's figure. In a second male there is an extra white spot 

 just above the submedian nervure, this is absent in the female, its place 

 being taken by a small faint yellow spot. Moore, in his description of 

 sumitra, only gives four spots in the oblique discal series, Leech figures a 

 fifth spot which agrees with one of my specimens as just mentioned. 

 Leech's figure therefore does not quite agree with Moore's description. 

 This species, however, is evidently variable as regards makings. The 

 specimen which agrees with Leech's figure in having a fifth white spot 

 also agrees well in other respects. In the other male there is no sub basal 

 yellow spot on upper side of hind wings and there are only two (outer 

 ones) out of the four yellow spots of the median band present. All three 

 specimens are variable as regards the number of yellow spots on under- 

 side of hindwing, the female having present only one of the median band 

 and four of the submedian band series. In a long series of this species it 

 would no doubt be discovered that there was a further variation in the 

 number of spots.

These specimens agree well with Leech's figure and Mabillc's discrip- 

 tion. Leech, in his figure, gives only three sub-apical white spots, but 

 Mabille, in his description, gives four. My specimens agree with
