  Notes. 
  — 
  This 
  is 
  a 
  common 
  swallowtail 
  in 
  woods 
  and 
  brushy 
  places 
  

   in 
  the 
  Admiralties. 
  Its 
  flight 
  is 
  not 
  fast 
  and 
  is 
  usually 
  within 
  5 
  feet 
  

   of 
  the 
  ground, 
  making 
  it 
  the 
  easiest 
  of 
  the 
  local 
  swallowtails 
  to 
  capture.

  iVo^fs.— 
  This 
  little 
  black 
  and 
  white 
  swallowtail 
  flies 
  in 
  forested 
  

   regions, 
  especially 
  along 
  rocky 
  stream 
  valleys, 
  and 
  is 
  most 
  common 
  

   along 
  the 
  upper 
  branches 
  of 
  the 
  Lorengau 
  River. 
  The 
  flight 
  is 
  low 
  

   and 
  irregular, 
  and 
  swift, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  butterfly 
  is 
  very 
  hard 
  to 
  catch.

  Notes. 
  — 
  Lord 
  Rothchild's 
  description 
  of 
  the 
  male 
  of 
  this 
  fine 
  swal- 
  

   lowtail 
  was 
  brief, 
  so 
  we 
  amplify 
  it 
  here 
  : 
  

  

  Underside 
  : 
  Spots 
  on 
  the 
  f 
  orewing 
  as 
  above, 
  but 
  the 
  three 
  lowest 
  

   somewhat 
  smaller. 
  Hind 
  wing 
  crossed 
  by 
  a 
  curved 
  band 
  of 
  spots 
  con- 
  

   tinuing 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  forewing, 
  somewhat 
  smaller, 
  slightly 
  darker, 
  

   deeply 
  notched 
  exteriorly, 
  each 
  with 
  a 
  narrow 
  straight 
  band 
  of 
  diffuse 
  

   blue 
  scales 
  just 
  beyond 
  the 
  outer 
  end, 
  strongest 
  in 
  the 
  lowest 
  three. 
  

   Anal 
  spot 
  larger, 
  occupying 
  the 
  entire 
  interspace, 
  broader 
  than 
  long, 
  

   orange, 
  the 
  inner 
  border 
  sprinkled 
  with 
  light 
  bluish 
  scales.
