18 PERCY SLADEN TRUST EXPEDITION 



I have entire confidence. Aldabra ; one specimen was seen on Picard Island in January ; 

 it appeared after a squall from the south-west and after resting for ten minutes went away 

 again to the north-west. Assumption, I specimen (Dupont, 1910). Worldwide (except 

 Arctic, Antarctic regions and New Zealand).

 Annexe F (Lep.), p. 37 (1865). 



Aldabra, 2 specimens, November, dry season form, January, wet season form. 

 Cosmoledo, 2 specimens, September, wet season forms : this is somewhat curious as 

 September is the dryest month of the dry season. Assumption, 1 specimen (Dupont). 

 Madagascar Oriental region (type).

Seychelles : Mahe, St Anne (Fletcher) ; no specimens in present collection. Aldabra, 

 a few examples, all ^ : ^ were not uncommon in January just before I left: the ? seem 

 to appear later, for Mr Thomasset obtained several, March 1908. Found throughout

 Seychelles: Mahe; Silhouette; Praslin ; numerous specimens, 800 — 2000 ft.

 previous species).

114. Papilio disparilis Boisd., var. ncma Oberth., Etudes d'Entomologie, iv, p. 54. 

 Seychelles ? Not in present collection and no record for many years ; it is certainly 



not resident now. I expect the record, from which the variety was described, was made 

 from a wind-blown specimen or its offspring. An inhabitant of Reunion.
