BUTLER ON BUTTERFLIES [Mar. 21, is exceptional), the terms ' wet phase' or ' dry phase' merely indicate that a particular form is prevalent in the wet- and another in the dry-season. Even Mr. Marshall, who discovered the seasonal relationship of the utterly dissimilar phases of this species, would hardly venture (in contradiction of his own dated examples) to assert that either phase w*as exclusively limited to its proper season. 4. JUNONIA CLOANTHA Cramer. o* $ , Machako's, 2nd and 24th June ; ? , 3rd July, 1898. The female obtained on the 24th June has a lightly-marked border above, and a pale distinctly-marked and ocellated under surface ; it should therefore be a wet phase ; the other pair (taken earlier and later) are unquestiouably dry : this is another instance of untimely appearance in a seasonal phase. 5.
