208 Miscellaneous. 



10. CJmjso2yhanus iMceas, Linn. Kurrachee, in November ; Kan- 

 dahar, in October, November, and January. 



Var. timceus, Cramer. Kandahar, in October. 



Var. stygianus, Butler. Kandahar, in October. 



An examination of the forty-one examples of this species obtained 

 at Kandahar, and submitted to me for examination, has shown that 

 the form named by me C. sUif/ianvn cannot be specitically separated 

 from C. pliloeaa. 



11. Strymon mirahiIe'?,'Evscho&. Taken at Chaman on the 16th 



May. 

 This specimen is in such bad condition that I am doubtful of its 

 identification ; it may be TJieda unrahilis ^ , Erschoff. 



12. Aphncetis acamas, Klug. " Only observed at Chaman ; eight 



taken in May, and one in October,'" — C. S. A male left with 

 me is labelled 14th May ; but two females as '• caught in a 

 maize-field near Chaman, 16th August, 1880. — //. /S'. W. S. 

 Barnes."' A fourth example wns so much shattered as to be 

 worthless. 



13. Colias mreptensis, 8taud. Four examples, S $ , taken at Kan- 

 dahar in October. 



14. Colias imllida, Stand. Ten examples, S $ . Kandahar, in 

 March and April. 



In my paper upon the collection made by Captain lloberts I have 

 treated this form as a hybrid between 0. mrcptensis and C. erate ; 

 but, if this be the case, it is singular that the present collection con- 

 tains three times as many of this form as of the typical C. sarep- 

 fensis, and also that none of them are indicated as taken in October, 

 which latter fact would indicate that, if a hybrid, it is one only 

 produced in the spring months. 



15. Colias erate, Esper. ^ $ , Kandahar, in March, April, and 



October : those of the last-named month all females. 



Colonel Swinhoe naturally failed to discriminate between C. 

 sareptensis and the females of G. pxilUda and C. erate, as also be- 

 tween the males of C. pallida and C. erate. The former appears to 

 me to be designated in the following note as the " largest kind '' (or 

 this may refer to some only of the specimens, others not noticed 

 being larger yet so like the largest as to be mentally included with 

 them) ; the latter is probably " the smaller kind with imperfect 

 black border on primaries." This is the note : — 



" Colias. — One example of the largest kind taken at Chaman in 

 May, three at Kandahar in October, one in November, and seven at 

 Quctta in May. 



" Of the smaller kind, with imperfect ])lack border on primaries, 



two examples taken at Kandahar in November, one in October "
