Hab, — Malay Peninsula ; Singapore (coll, Godfery). 



A single specimen of thin distinctly coloured species is contained in the collection of 

 Cap! Godfery, and if? the only white Teriad I have seen from the Malay Peninsula. A 

 somewhat similar species is represented by an Aniboinese specimen in the British Museum* 



Genus APPIAS (antnt, p. 310). 

 1. Appias ncro [antea, p. 311), 



Mr. Forbes has published the following observations respecting this species as found in 

 Sumatra : — f< In the open paths and sunny roads I netted scarlet Pieridm (Appias ttero), often 

 flying in flocks of over a score, exactly matching in colour the fallen leaves, which it was 

 amusing to observe how often they mistook for one of their own fellows at rest, and to watch 

 the futile attentions of an amorous male towards such a leaf moving slightly in the wind."* 



9. Appias lagela. (Tab. XLL, fig. 11.)

11 Mate and Female. Smaller. Upperaide differing on the fore wing in the black apical harder 

 terminating in both sexes before reaching the posterior angle, and the medial portion partly excavated 

 outside the lower end of the cell, and thence extending across the end to its base ; hind wing with a broad 

 marginal continuous baud (as in c7. pnndume, Hiibn.). Underside — fore wing with the black band 

 terminating as above ; the apex and hind wing greyish-yellow, speckled with purple in male, and brownish - 

 gfrey with darker speckles in female, the speckles numerous across the disk, and forming zigzag fascia,"

4. Ornithoptera brookeana (antea, p. 330.) 



To the other collected facts respecting the characteristics of this butterfly may be added 

 the curious observation made by Mr, Forbes in Sumatra, in the neighbourhood of the hot 

 springs, that its " favourite resort was the stones that cropped out above the hot water, and 

 which were of a temperature but little below 130 M F." J

At- the hot springs of Kot rujkoond Dr. Hooker found tb»t a water beetle abounded ui water at 11*2° (' Himalayan Journal*,' 

 vol. t. p. 25). Water beetles, however, seem to have extra* )rd iuary vitality, as Dr. Aucrhach, writing to tho ' Cheniiker- 

 Zeitung," mentions as a curious fact that during an entire summer lie observed water beetles — probably Gyrinu* twtator— living 

 in tanks of a datiirateil solution of <i limbers salts. When abu-ined the beetles took shelter under the crystals, just as they do 

 in ordinary circtnaiKtanues under water pluntK, Ac. < l Psyche/ vol. Hi. p. 148).
