P. Agestor. — Figured in Gray's Lep. Ins. of Nej^al, t. 4, f. 2, and 

 Westw. Arc. Ent., pi. 16, f. 2, inhabits the S.E. Himalaya (Darjeeling, 

 Sikkim). Another allied species is Pap. Epycides, recently described, 

 and figured by Mr. Hewitson, in Exot. Butt., which I have also received 

 from the S.E. Himalaya. 



P. dissimilis. — The only place in which I have seen this species 

 is Subbathoo ; altitude 4,000 ft., in June, frequenting a grassy undu- 

 lating down, flying rapidly in long circuits, pitching occasionally on 

 grassy knolls, and generally returning by the same route to the same 

 spot, after a flight. 



Farnassius SardwicJcii. — Tolerably abundant on the Makasoo 

 ridge, near Simla, on bare gi'assy hill-tops, just clear of oak-woods: 

 grassy, open downs it certainly aftects, and at a high elevation — 8,000 ft. 

 It appears very local, and has a slow flight, somewhat like that of JPieris, 

 although it has a strong as well as slow flight. It flies low over the 

 turf and rocks which crop up amidst the grass. There appear to be 

 two broods — early spring and late autumn. The red and blue spots 

 vary much in difierent specimens, being quite obsolete in some. 



Pontia Nina. — I have seen this but in one place, a forest in the 

 interior of Oudh, in the month of October. Under the bushes which 

 formed the low underwood on the skirts of the forest this delicate- 

 winged insect flapped with weak flight, seeming to shun publicity, and 

 to be afraid to fly boldly from the shelter of the bushes. 



Pieris EucJiaris. — Taken in Oudh and at Umballa. 



Aporia Agathon. — This is a Himalayan insect, frequenting forests 

 and shady glens ; at Simla I saw it in considerable numbers in June. 

 The flight much resembles that of Danais chrysippus, and it is of easy 

 capture. It appears local, I having seen it only at Simla, and in some 

 richly wooded glens, upwards of 100 miles in the interior of the 

 Himalaya. 



A. Soracta. — In some abundance in forests, at altitudes of 6,000 to 

 8,000 ft. Essentially a forest insect, not aflecting gardens or grassy 

 slopes. 



P. Sanaca. — Also a Himalayan species, obtained only once, in a 

 richly wooded glen, far in the interior. Its flight was very strong and 

 fast. 



P. Coronis. — Abundant in Oudh and at Umballa. I have seen 

 none in the Hills. 



P. Mesentina. — Abundant in Oudh and at Umballa ; also obtained 

 at Kussowlic. Elevation, 6,000 ft.
