(Butt. Ind. 273). Mr. W. Doherty obtained it in the “ Kali Valley, E. Kumaon, at 
Balwakot and Toli, 2500 to 3000 feet elevation, which, compared with Sikkim speci- 
mens, are more striated and speckled with white below, and have an irregular line 
of whitish spots round the outer disc of the hindwing above”’ (J. A. S. Beng. 1886, 
120). We have specimens from the late General G. Ramsay’s Nepal collection.
