Turning to Major Yerbury's private collection, the first 

 specimen I took up was a dark male {B. auriginea) which 

 should have been taken in the spring ; but on looking at the 

 label I found it marked " Rawul Pindee, 21st November." I 

 next turned up a pale female {B. lordaca)^ and found it 

 labelled " Campbellpore, 21st May, 85." This remarkable 

 evidence led me to examine seven other specimens recently 

 brought home by Major Yerbury, with the following result : — 



Sujjposed Sprim/ Brood. Supposed Autumn Brood.
