(rt) : P. glycerion Gray, forma typ. [c?]. 



The discoidal cell to the hindwings is longer and narrower iu this and the next 

 Papilio than in any of the other species of this group. 



Hab. Nepaul; Sikkim (Ki cj); Assam (1 <?). 



The specimens from .Sikkim and those from Cashmere exhiliit considerable 

 differences, which appear to be constant; the e.xam pies from Nepaul stand between 

 these two extreme forms, and unfortunately it was a Nepaul specimen which served 

 Gray for the description of his species. As the differences between the Nepaul and 

 Sikkim forms on the one side, as well as between the Nepaul and Cashmere races on 

 the other side, are not important enough and not at all constant, it will be best to 

 distinguish only two Indian local races of glycerion, and to apph' the name of 

 fjlycerioii. Gray to the Sikkim specimens and part of the specimens from Nepaul, 

 while the Cashmere race and the specimens from Nepaul which come nearest to it 

 muht receive a new name : — 



(It) : p. glycerion caschmirensis subsp. nov. [J*]. 

 The bands on the wings are less black and thinner than in typical glycerion 

 Gray; the anal angle of the forewings has more white; the anal 3'ellow spot on the 

 hindwings is of a much paler colour; the discal series of yellowish markings on the 

 underside of the hindwings is also much paler; the two discal black lines bordering 

 these markiugs are less close together; the exterior line is mucli farther lieiit towards 

 the outer margin of the wing between the subcostal and up[ior discocclluUir veins. 

 While in P. glycerion Gray the light parts of the costal and apical region of the fore- 

 wings are perfectly transparent, owing to the ab.sence of white -scales, the.se parts 

 are only partly transparent in P. glycerion caschmirensis, since the discoidal cell 

 is for the most part overpowdered, on the upperside of the forewing, with white
