142 Mr. A. G. Butler on Lepidoptera 



at Hassan Abdal. This seems to be tlie cold-weather form." 

 —J. W.Y. 



The idea of this species being a seasonal form of J. asterie 

 originated, I am told, with a Mr. Doherty (now collecting in 

 Timor, and likely to proceed to New Guinea) ; but he tells 

 me, in a letter recently received, that he has since seen reason 

 to doubt the correctness of this notion. Mr. De Nic^ville has, 

 however, taken up the cause of seasonal dimorphism, and 

 played considerable havoc with the synonymy of the Lepi- 

 doptera : some of his suggestions may turn out to be correct ; 

 but such as prove to be unfortunate guesses will only have 

 uselessly hindered the advance of knowledge.

Major Yerbury says that this is probably the commonest 

 butterfly all the year round both at Campbellpore and Murree, 

 but that on Thundiani it is uncommon. 



J. orithyia^ with which the Indian species has been con- 

 founded, is a much larger Chinese form, having the under 

 surface suffused throughout with rufous-brown, most strongly 

 in the female; the species is found in North-eastern, but not 

 (so far as I know) in North-western India. Of C. Swinhoei 

 we now possess a series of twenty-four good specimens.
