The larva and pupa of H. malabarica were figured in the Catal. Lep. Mus. E.I. Co. pl. iv. f. 11, I la, in error for those of 0. daos. The figures there engraved were stated by Prof. Westwood to represent the transformations of G. daos ; the drawings (now in the Library of tbe Entomological Society of London) were received by him from Capt. Hamilton ; and the species in question was stated to be from the Tenasserim coast. In a letter which I subsequently received from Mrs. Hamilton, this lady informed me that the drawings of the above-mentioned larva and pupa were made from specimens taken on the Cotiaddy Pass, in the Western Ghauts of Southern India, not in Tenasserim as stated by Prof. Westwood. This identity is also confirmed by other drawings of the metamorphoses of the same insect, now in my possession. 13. HESTIA BELIA.
