Observed in a tour through India and Ceylon. 109 
At this place I confirmed in two specimens of Catopsilia 
pyranthe the jasmine odour connected with the “scent 
tufts” of the male, but did not find it as strong as in 
specimens of the same species examined at Bankapur six 
weeks before. Mr. Scott agreed to the comparison with 
jasmine, but thought the scent was perhaps even more 
like that of Polianthes tuberosa. 
I also examined two males of Tirwmala limniace for 
scent, but was unable to elicit any from the prominent sacs 
on the under-side of the hind-wings, although I suspected 
some to be emitted by the genital tufts. 
Papilio erithonius was frequently met with, and P. 
aristolochiw was common, but I only took a single P. 
pammon. Although the male of Hypolimnas misippus was 
fairly common, I only saw one worn female; this was of the 
very marked variety «aria, Cramer, in which the white 
marks near the apex of the fore-wing are entirely wanting, 
and the black tip is reduced to a narrow border, so that it 
closely mimics ZL. chrysippus, var. dorippus, Klug., a form 
that is very rare in India. I several times saw the male 
Hf, misippus reconnoitring L. chrysippus as if in doubt as to 
its identity ! 
Of Precis enone I took but one, of P. almana two, but 
P. lemonias was common. Of the following species I took 
mostly single examples :—Limnas genutia; Hrgolis ariadne ; 
Neptis varmona ; Polyommatus beticus ; Lampides celeno, Cr., 
form conferanda, Butl.; Catochrysops hapalina, Butl., two ; 
C. strabo, Fab.; Zizera otis, var. indica, Murray, two; and 
the Skipper, Swastus gremius, Fab. 
Of Melanitis ismene I took but a small fraction, for one 
seldom sees a butterfly so battered, yet even this fraction 
was found in the shade. In marked contrast are the habits 
of Telchinia violx, since it haunts the most sun-scorched 
places; it was not uncommon at Anantapur, but if 
gregarious, as elsewhere, then I did not hit upon its 
head-quarters. 
I took one TZerias libythea, and saw several 7. hecabe, 
though it was but moderately common. 
Hovering at flowers I two or three times saw, and once 
caught, Cephanodes hylas, L., an insect very like Sesia 
bombyliformis, Esp. There were also flying in the sun 
Deiopeia pulchella and Trigonodes hyppasia, Cr., a Noctua 
very like Hydrelia uwnea, L., which reminded me of 
Headington and old Oxford days.
