1912.| N. ANNANDALE: The Fauna of Parésnath Hiil. 43 
of hitherto undescribed forms found on Parésnath was consider- 
able. It seems unnecessary to give a list of those that have been 
identified ; several of the new species are described by Mr. Distant 
in Ann. Soc. Ent. Belgique, \iii (1909), pp. 361, 362, etc. 
LEPIDOPTERA. 
We were not able to pay much attention to the Lepidoptera 
and only a few species were collected. Mr. Meyrick has recorded 
two species of Microlepidoptera from Parésnath, namely Oligo- 
phlebia amalleuta* from an altitude of 4,000 feet and Acrocer- 
cops convoluta. The latter is also known from Kurseong in the 
E. Himalayas and is fairly common, as Mr. Meyrick informs me, 
at Maskeliya in Ceylon. 
For the following note on the butterflies of Parésnath I am 
indebted to Capt. G. H. I. Graham, who has visited the hill on 
more than one occasion in order to collect Rhopalocera :— 
List of butterflies caught on Parésnath Hull by Capt. G. H.I. Graham 
and a native catcher, during the months of April and October,
