Description:Excerpt from Spolia Zeylanica, Vol. 7: Issued From the Colombo Museum, Ceylon; Part 26; December, 1910 Eing interested in the striking resemblances in colour and pattern which are to be found between butter ies belonging to different genera and families, I took advantage of a Visit to Ceylon during the past summer (1909) to observe as many as possible of these cases in the living state. Though my stay on the Island was a Short one - two months only - it was mainly devoted to the study of these phenomena, and as I have arrived at definite conclusions on some points, I have thought it worth while to place on record my Observations, together with the 'few experiments that I was able to undertake. Before, however, proceeding to my subject-matter, I wish to make certain acknowledgments. To my friends, Dr. Willey and Mr. R. H. Look, I am grateful for unwearying kindness and for generously giving me all the assistance that was in their power. I owe also a debt of gratitude to Mr. E. E. Green for placing freely at my service his encyclopaedic knowledge of the insects of Ceylon, and for a consignment of butter ies which arrived shortly after my return. To Col. Manders and to the Hon. Mr. F. Mackwood I am indebted for information; to the latter also for several specimens. Lastly, I Wish to acknowledge the kindness of Prof. Poulton, who was good enough before my departure to give me some duplicate specimens illustrating the most conspicuous cases of mimicry in Ceylon butter ies, thereby materially lightening my task of becoming familiar with a strange fauna.
