of Ceram and the adjacent islands they have however, intermingled with the indigenes and with the Malay races, which have spread from Ternate, Batchian, etc., so as to produce inextricable confusion of type. The people of the coasts of all these islands between Celebes and New Guinea are constantly changing about. The one fact, however, that I consider indisputable is, that here the Malay race comes in contact with two other races, which are non-Malay—the Alfurus of Gilolo and Ceram, and the

Papuan, the darker colour and more frizzly hair of the latter being the only differences. I believe, therefore, that the numerous intermediate forms that occur among the countless islands of the Pacific are not merely the result of a mixture of these races, but are truly intermediate or transitional; and that the brown and the black, the Papuan, the natives of Gilolo and Ceram, the Fidjian, the inhabitants of the Sandwich Islands and of New Zealand (and perhaps even of Australia), are all

Moluccas, the hardly separable P. Alphenor has quite lost the tail in the male, while the female retains it, but in a narrower and less spatulate form. A little further, in Gilolo, P. Nicanor has completely lost the tail in both sexes.Papilio Agamemnon exhibits a somewhat similar series of changes. In India it is always tailed; in the greater part of the archipelago it has a very short tail; while far east, in New Guinea and the adjacent islands, the tail has almost entirely disappeared.

explanation now given fails us in the other cases of local modification. Why the species of the western islands should be smaller than those further east,—why those of Amboyna should exceed in size those of Gilolo and New Guinea—why the tailed species of India should begin to lose that appendage in the islands, and retain no trace of it on the borders of the Pacific, are questions which we cannot at present attempt to answer. That they depend, however, on some general principle is certain
