under surface to tliat species ; but now that I have seen a larger number of 

 specimens, I find that fiormda is undoubtedly a form of F^. comma. 



I liave seen the type of ' Pamphila ' mikado, Mabille MS., and consider it 

 to be a very worn specimen of E. comma, y^x. fiorlnda, Butler. 



Mr. Elwes states that specimens from Amurland seem to agree with 

 Japanese examples. 



In India E. comma is represented by a form which Moore has described as 

 distinct under the name Pamphila dimila *. A specimen agreeing exactly 

 with this Indian form has been received from Ta-chien-lu, Western China, 

 by Mr. Grose Smith, and is figured in the present work (Plate XLI. 

 fig. 12, d" ). ^Pamphila' comma, var. ? latof, Grum-Grshimailo, from tlic 

 Dshachar Mountains, is probably referable to this form.
