Logania substrigosa, Moore, J. A. S. B. liii. pt. ii. p. 22 (1884). Specimens from East Pegu and Perak agree with others from Nias. LOGANIA MARMORATA. Logania marmorata, Moore, J. A. S. B. liii. pt. ii. p. 22 (1884); Journ. Linn. Soc, Zool. xxi. p. 39, t. 3. fig. 7 ; Butt. Ind. iii. 33, front, fig. 128. Specimens from Perak of both sexes agree with the plate of the type from Mergui and with others from Pulo Laut. LOGANIA MASALIA. Logania masalia, Doh. J. A. S. B. Ix. pt. ii. p. 37, t. 1. 8 2 (1891). The type, from Margharita, is the only specimen of this species and is in m y collection. As it is not in fresh condition I cannot see whether the non-undulated appearance of the margin by which Doherty separates it fromX. marmorata is a good character, but the Perak specimens, which he speaks of as nearest to it, agree both with Moore's and de Niceville's [dates of L. marmorata ; and I have a specimen from Mone in the Shan States, taken by Dr. Manders, which is also very near to if not identical with L. marmorata and shows that the species extends to the mainland north of Mergui. I have other specimens from Pulo Laut and Nias (Miletus lahomius, Kheil) which are closely allied, but a larger series is necessary to decide their specific distinctness. Logania malayica, Dist., from the Malay Peninsula, of which I have several specimens from Pulo Laut, is easily distinguished by the shape of the wings, and is, moreover, much paler. LOGANIA SRIWA.
