in their one little hour of recreation. They fly so fast that they 
generally get broken in the net by the force of impact. You may 
strike at them a dozen times as they pass you without inducing them 
to change their route. I have observed the same thing in those 
stupidest of birds, the swallows.”

Upper side sooty. Anterior wing transparent, with the costal, 
the external margin, the base below the cell, and nervures black. 
Posterior wing black with a marginal band of seven subtriangular 
greenish gray spots situated upon the intraneural spaces. The 
costal half of the cell and a portion of the space included between 
the upper and lower radial nervures at their origin is pure white. 
The interior half of the cell is clouded with sooty gray. A white 
band composed of three spots sharply defined on the side of the 
base and shading into the ground color externally crosses the in- 
ner half of the wing at right angles to the cell. 
Under side. Anterior wings as above. Posterior wings with the 
same markings, but the spots more sharply defined and white. In 
addition an elongate spot at the base just behind the costal nerve, 
and a diffuse whitish spot upon the middle of the costa, a circular 
white spot at base below the cell, and two small elongate white 
spots on the inner margin near the base. Antennae black, palpi 
light gray. Head, thorax and abdomen black, the sides of the 
latter ornamented with a row of yellow spots on each side, and four 
white bands on the under surface near the anal extremity. Expanse 
of wings, 75 mm. g . 
The discovery of this species is one of the most interesting inci- 
dents of Mr. Doherty’s visit to Celebes, from which island hither- 
to no species of Acraea has been recorded so far as I am aware.
