Mr- Butler described P. uniform is from a specimen without a 4 * locality-label," which he 

 correctly surmised might prove to be a Malaccftu species. It is, however, rare, the commoner 

 one being the following, P t angelica. The figure here given is from a Perak spec mien.

I have not figured P. angelica, because it is easily differentiated from J& tmiformis by the 

 oblique bluish fascia to the anterior wings possessing a central series of white dashes or spots. 



Capt. Godfery sent me the following interesting particulars relating to the capture of this 

 species : — 11 While exploring a path in the forest parallel to the Linggi in Sungei Ujong, in 

 company with a friend, we disturbed a butterfly of swift flight which settled high up on the 

 trunk of a tree. Being beyond the reach of our nets we startled it from its resting place, when 

 it Hew to another tree and alighted in a similar position. We tried several times to secure it, 

 but in vain, the height at which it rested rendering it safe from our attacks. Stimulated by 

 curiosity at its unique habit of always selecting the trunk of a tall tree for its resting place, 

 where, from its assuming a vertical position, with the edges only of its wings directed towards 

 the spectator, and from its protective coloratiou r it was very hard to see, we determined to 

 effect its capture, and eventually did so, by tying the handles of .our nets together with a 

 handkerchief. I imagine it to be of crepuscular habits from its reluctance to fly far, or indeed 

 to leave its resting place," &c.
