Rearing oF Wer anD Dry-Szason Broop From THE Hoc.—Mr. L. de Nicéville 
(Journ. Asiatic Society of Bengal, 1886, 231) gives the first recorded instance of 
rearing both the wet and dry-season brood of this species from the egg, as follows : 
—‘* On September 5th, 1885, Captain C. A. R. Sage, of the 18th Bengal Infantry, 
sent me in a tin box with a gauze cover seven live females which had that day been 
caught. WhenI received them they had laid over 70 eggs of a beautiful light 
green colour on the gauze cover, and two on the side of the box. On September 
9th, larvee commenced to emerge, and I placed the gauze on which the eggs were 
laid amongst some grass growing in a pot, covering the whole with a large wooden 
box with glass sides. The larve rapidly fed up, and turned to pupx, the imagines 
emerging between October 19th and 25th, as true Y. Hibneri like their mothers. 
The pupz were sometimes green, sometimes brown. On my return on November 
8th from my autumn holiday in the Sikkim Hills, Captain Sage gave me six about 
half-grown larve, which he had hatched on October 20th from eggs laid by 
Y. Hiibneri on the 15th. Being few in number, these larvae were fed up by me in a 
stoppered glass jar, fresh grass being supplied about every other day. ‘The first 
of them changed to a pupa on November 20th, and the imago emerged on December 
7th; on November 22nd, another larva changed to a pupa, the imago emerging 
December 9th ; on November 25th, two more larve changed to pupe, the imagines 
emerging December 12th; on December 8rd, another larva changed to a pupa, the 
imago emerging December 19th; on December 12th, the last larva changed to a 
pupa, the imago emerging on January Ist. All the pupz were green, and all the 
imagines were true Y. Howra. The colour of the pupa does not, I believe, affect 
the imago in the least ; it is purely protective, the green ones in nature being pro- 
bably attached to the green blades of grass, while the brown ones occur on the 
dark-coloured stems near the roots. Captain Sage first took Y. Howra on 
November 18th, at a time when a few Y. Hiibneri were still on the wing, this being 
the earliest date on which he captured the cold and dry-season non-ocellated form 
of this species.” 
Distrisution.—From North-Western India, specimens are recorded (Butt. 
Ind. i. 228) from Chumba. Mr. W. Doherty obtained it in ‘* Kumaon, at Bag- 
heswar, Rambagh, and at Kapkot, at from 1000 to 4000 feet elevation” (J. A.S. 
Beng. 1886, 120). Mr. G. F. Hampson has the wet-season form from Naini Tal, 
1000 feet, taken by Col. A. M. Lang in October. In the North-Hast, Mr. H. J. 
Elwes (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 326) says it “cccurs in the Sikkim Terai during the
