Lepidoptera of Sikkim. 
Papilio, with 42 species. 
Parnara, with 10 species. 
Halpe, with 7 species. 
297 
When we come to examine the list of species, I find 
that there are:—Common to the three lists about 63; 
common to Sikkim and Malayana, 120; common to 
Sikkim and the North-west Himalaya, 220. 
Species hitherto only found in Sikkim about 70, of 
which many no doubt occur in Nepal and Bhutan, and 
possibly in the Khasia Hills. 
It is sometimes as important to compare the genera 
which are absent as well as those which are present in 
a fauna, and with this object I have drawn up the 
following list :—
