The aberration consists principally in an outward extension of the extra-mesial transverse series of yellow spots on all the wings above and beneath, quite up to and partially includln,? the siibmarginal series, which, however, do not lose, upon the under surface of the fort- wings, their distinctive color; on the fore wing, the color expands laterally by slow degrees, so as to occupy toward its outer limit the whole of each interspace, separated only by the black veins. On the under side of the fore wing the color is mostly similar to that of the upper surface but toward the inner border becomes bathed in orange. Mr. Grote does not mention, altiiough his figure repre- sents, the interior edging of yellow to the extended cxtra-ineslal orange band of the under surface of the hind wings, just as we find it in normal specimens. In addi- tion to tills principal distinction, the yellowish edging of the tip of the cell of the fore wings above is lost (which is a little remarkalilc, as we should rather have expected to see the yellow markings extend to and embrace this also) as also most of the black and yellow on the upper surface and the black on the under surface of the incipient ocellus at the anal angle of the hind wings and which deprives it almost altogether of Its oceilar like character. Of course, too, all the blue speckling of tlie h'lid wing is lost, since the place where it occurs is wholly bathed in the extension of the extra-mesial yellow band. On the under surface of the fore wings, the upper limit of che broad outer belt of yellow is indiciited in normal males (always?) by the yel- lowish ficcking of the subcostal nervurcs from the extra-mesial normal band nearly to the out
