the Tibetan side of the frontier. 
Marshall, G. F. L., & Nici*:villk, L. de. Tlio Butterflies of India,

along the border. With numerous illustrations. Yol. i. Nymphalidce. 
Part i. Danainoi. Calcutta : 1882, 8vo, pp. vii. & 94, col. frontispiece, 
pis. i.-ix. (plain), and woodcuts. 
Includes glossary of technical terms, preface, introduction, collecting 
and preserving, synopses of families and sub-families, and descriptions of 
Indian Danaince. Plate i. represents neuration and external anatomy, 
and plate ii. represents larvae ; the remainder represent perfect insects. 
The species in each genus are tabulated, and altogether the value of the 
work to residents in India cannot well be over-estimated. Reviewed by 
Elwes, Nature, xxvii. pp. 50 & 51.

Tr. E. Soc. 1882, pp. 485-491. (Discussion, P. E. Soc. 1882, pp. xvi. 
& xvii.) 
The writer considers that many reputed species are only broods ; that 
neither shape, size, nor colour can be relied on as sufficient guides for 
specific distinction, and that temperature has a great evolutionary effect 
on the character of insects.
