Dry-season Brood (Figs. 1c, J, Id, $, le, $). 
Male. Upperside similar to the Wet-season form. Underside, Forewing with 
the inner markings similar, the two outer bands composed of spots, those nearest the 
margin being small and well separated from each other. Hindwing with all the bands 
and markings composed of well separated spots. 
Female. Upperside with the general colour much paler, the upper disc of fore¬ 
wing broadly white, in some examples the ground colour of the outer half of the inner 
space is all white, and the hindwing is also more or less white on the outer portion, the 
base of both wings with blue iridescent scales. Underside as in the male. 
Expanse of wings, £ $ 1 inch. 
Extreme Dry-season Brood (Figs. If, J, Ig, $, 1 h, $). 
Male and Female. Upperside as in the other forms. Underside with the outer 
markings of the fore wing and all the markings of the hind wing obsolescent, in some 
examples the markings of the hindwing are almost obliterated. 
Expanse of wings, J $ t 8 q- to t 9 q- inch. 
Egg. —Pale apple-green with porcelain-white ridges and tubercles, the ridges 
arranged in lines parallel to or concentric with the equator, the tubercles 
arranged meridionally in curved lines, so that the tubercles, when the egg is viewed 
from above, form a figure like a star of many rays all curved similarly and in the same 
direction. The tubercles appear very conspicuous under a microscope, and are blunt 
conical, in size they are equal in diameter about to the intervals between them. The 
egg is very much flattened and with a wide depression at its apex, it has in fact much 
the proportions of an Echinoid of the genus Diadema. 
Larva. —Just half an inch in length, when full-grown, much flattened, the head 
pale ochreous and completely hidden under the second segment, which is somewhat 
wide, the third and fourth segments progressively a little wider, whence the body very 
gradually tapers to the last segment, which is about as wide as the second. Colour 
pale green, the whole upper surface covered with a shagreening of small white tubercles, 
which under a magnifying glass give it a frosted appearance ; along the lateral edge of 
the body and round the anal segment there are numerous somewhat long whitish 
hairs. From the third to the anal segment there is a somewhat broad (slightly 
decreasing in width posteriorly) yellowish-green dorsal stripe, which bears a red stripe 
in its middle decreasingly on the first four segments on which it appears; in some 
specimens the dorsal stripe is marked with reddish on both sides, which colour is very 
conspicuous on the twelfth and thirteenth segments. There is also a sub-dorsal series 
of small spots from the third to the eleventh segments inclusive, which are quite 
inconspicuous in some specimens. The extensile organs on the twelfth segment are
