Show 1895.] MR. H. H. DRUCE ON BORNEAN LYCENID.E. OOl from Borneo, in which island but two or three localities have been anything like worked, more than half as many species as have been found in the extensive region of which his book treats. In ' Rhopalocera Malayana' Mr. Distant has recorded 133 species of the family, so that with these facts one may conclude that the Lyceenidee are very well represented in Borneo. Mr. H . J. Elwes has expressed his opinion that when the higher mountain-ranges of Java, Sumatra, Borneo, &c. come to be explored there will be found to be a considerable resemblance between the butterflies inhabiting them and those of the Himalayas ; and so far as the Lyceenidee are concerned I think a perusal of the following pages will confirm this. Besides tbe number of types of Bornean species which are contained in Messrs. Godman and Salvin's collection, Dr. Staudinger has kindly sent m e the whole of his types of Palawan species described in * Iris,' vol. ii., which I have found very useful and in some cases absolutely necessary for correct identification. The arrangement here followed is that of Mr. de Niceville's admirable work, ' The Butterflies of India, Burmah, and Ceylon.'
