on the less exposed leaves of trees in quiet, shady places. The sea- 

 son is from July till November : we do not recollect having found it 

 at any other time. 



68. Papilio xto-jju/ot/, Linnajus. 



We found this at Karwar from July till October on Lihwa schiscra 

 and Aheodaphne soniearpifolia. The larva is even more shy and re- 

 tiring than that of agamemnon, and we got very few. It is very like 

 that of agamnnnon, but prettier, being of a soft, dark green, inclining 

 to emerald and passing into a pale bluish on the last segment and 

 the under parts. The pupa is easily distinguished from that of aga- 

 tnemnonhy one mark, viz., the horn is not straight, but curves slightly 



backwards.

We found this at Karwar, in June and Jul}*, feeding on two trees 

 of the order Anonacece, along with the larva? of P. nomivs and agamem- 

 non. Some remained in the pupa state for nearly two months. At 

 first sight the larva is very like that of P. agamemnon, but the second 

 pair of spines is entirely wanting, and the third pair, which in aga- 

 memnon is rather long, curved and sharp, is reduced in this species 

 to mere knobs, encircled with a black ring. The colour is generally 

 black, or smoky, until the last moult, and then dull green, inclining 

 to rusty brown on the sides; but some of our specimens remained 

 quite black to the end. The distinguishing mark of the pupa? is 

 again in the frontal horn, which is straight, as in agamemnon , but 

 directed forward, instead of being almost erect. Its colour is nor- 

 mally green, but varies with that of the object to which it is 

 attached. One, attached to white cloth, was almost pure white.

This butterfly was very common in 1 889 in March, June and July. 

 It frequented one particular spot about half way up the Goodhally 

 hill: elsewhere we seldom met with it. On the 23rd of June we dis- 

 covered the larva on a jungle tree belonging to the order Anonaccce, 

 but unhappily not identified, and literally collected hundreds. By 

 the end of July these had all become pupa), and we got no more. Of 

 the pupae a few produced butterflies in the course of the same month, 

 but the great majority remained until February following, when a
