52 LEAST MEADOW BROWN.
Underneath, the fore wings are fulvous; their base, tip, and
border, grey, and near the tip is a distinct eye—black with
a white pupil, and surrounded by a pale yellowish border or
ring, in an indistinct patch of which the eye is placed. The
hind wings underneath are greyish brown, with a faint tinge
of reddish at the base, irregularly marked at the edge of the
mark, as above; this is followed by a yellowish white streak
of very sinuous shape, widest in the middle and narrower at
either end. The remainder of the outside of the wings is the
same colour as the base, but paler, and in it is a row of
several minute faint eyes.
Varieties occur in which the eyes are more or less obliterated:
I have one which has the corner of one of the fore wings
curtailed in a curious manner, though possessing the rounded
appearance.
