evidently indicating the various stages in the process of colour evolution. 

 The colour pattern is, consequently, difficult to describe and it will be more 

 satisfactory, therefore, to refer to the illustrations. The head is invariably 

 black or reddish brown, peculiarly marked with white or yellow lines. From 

 each of the second and third thoracic and the second and penultimate 

 abdominal segments a pair of fairly long processes extend from the back, those 

 of the second abdominal segment being more curved forward than the others. 

 In not quite full-grown individuals these processes are entirely black but in the 

 adults they are more or less dark red with black extremities. The handsome 

 pupae have the appearance of burnished gold or silver with some brown streaks. 

 When the larva has just recently moulted the pupa is flesh-coloured on which, 

 however, the metallic lustre soon appears. 



The figures of the larva and pupa given by Horsfield are very inaccu- 

 rate and those by Moore, being copied from Horsfield, are no better; 

 my own illustrations are much better, although, having been executed in Java 

 b)- persons without any knowledge of the anatomical structure of caterpillars, 

 little attention has been paid to the division of the segments and, consequently, 

 the attachment of the third pair of processes is, apparently, not very accurate. 

 As regards the chrysalis, my illustration is of value only in connection with 

 the form since the metallic lustre cannot be reproduced.

Snellen notes the following concerning this species : 



" It is possible that this species, so well described by Moore, is the Papilio 

 TuLLiOLUs of Fabricius {Eni. SysL, III, i, p. 41, 173), but the description, trans- 

 lated by Godart in Encycl. Meth., IX, p. 181, 18 19, is (]uite insufficient. 

 E. HoPFEKi Felder, from the K6 Islands is probably a form of Mazares".
