uervules, is elongated, and touches the margin of the wing, tiehiw. as above, Iml 

 with a red mark at the anal angle. 



(6-) : Like (a'), but with an admarginal red spot at tlie end of tlie seconil nn-dian 

 nervule. 



(c^): Like (6-j, but with the admarginal spot joined to the submarginal ^^lot 

 between the upper median veins. 



(cPtof-): Like (ri}), or (h-), or (c'). but with a small white s|iot bi>hind the 

 large patch below. 



(g'^to'i^): Like (rf- to /'j, but with the additional small white sjjot present also 

 on the upperside. 



(k'tom-): Like (;y- to /-), but with a second additional white spot in front of 

 the large white mark. 



(n- to p") : Like (/,:^ to nr), but the spot at the apex of the tail more or less 

 obliterated. 



(5-): The large discal mark densely shaded with black; the other markings 

 partly small, partly absent. 



(i-^ to t'-) : Like (a^ to c^), but the first submarginal sjiot or all the spots more 

 or less white. 



(v^ to x^) : Like ■(»•- to f), but below with a white spot in front of the large 

 white patch. 



(y'^) : Like (v-), but below also with a small white mark behind the large patch. 



(s^) : Like (x-), but with the additional white spot also marked above. 



?. This se,x varies just as much as the 'male; the two extremest forms are : — 



{a}): Like cJ-ab. {t'). 



(/3^) : All the .spots enlarged; before the usual large white patch there stands 

 another rather large white mark; the white patch is connected with the anal angle 

 by means of a more or less broad, pinkish white band, which is of a redder tint below 

 than above. 



The scent-organ of the 'male within the abdominal fold varies a little in .shape 

 and colour in large as well as in small individuals. If we combine the variation in 

 pattern and shape of tlie hindwiugs witli that of the male scent-organ, we get an 

 enormous numlier of different aberrations, which cannot be grouped easily, as the 

 variation in pattern takes place independently from that in shape or size, etc. It is, 

 therefore, difficult to say to which of these aberrations the names of dasarada and 

 polyeuctes must be restricted ; it might, perhaps, be best to sink these names 

 altogether as mere synonyms of philo-Mnus ; but as nearly all authors regard dasarada 

 as a distinct species, I prefer to keep this name separate, and hence I am obliged to 

 do so also with polyeuctee, which is just as good (or as bad) a variety of phUoxemin 

 as dasarada is. 



I personally should certainly treat both as synonyms, but the above rea.sons 

 explain sufficiently my attitude
