Pirrip#. 
14. Aporta acatuon, Gray, Lep. Ins. of Nepal, pl. 8. f. 1. 
This is a mountain-insect, frequenting forests and shady glens, 
At Simla I saw it in considerable numbers in June. Its flight much 
resembles that of Danais chrysippus, and it is of easy capture. It 
appears local, as I have seen it only at Simla, and in some richly 
wooded glens upwards of 100 miles in the interior of the Himalaya. 
15. Avoria soracta (Boisd.); Moore, Catal. Lep. Mus. E. I. C. 
i. poes: 
An Himalayan species, and may be seen in some abundance in 
forests, at altitudes of 6000 to 8000 feet. It is essentially a forest 
insect, not affecting gardens or grassy slopes.

Note.—‘‘I saw this Pieris in considerable numbers, flying about 
the village-fields of cereals and turnips, in the villages on the Spiti 
River, Leo, Chango, Shialkur, &c., and in the Chinese frontier vil- 
lage of Shipkee.”

Obtained at Kussowlie, 6000 feet elevation, on the first plainwards 
range of the Himalayas.

Note.—‘‘ This insect I saw but twice ; once on the ‘ Hungrung’ 
Pass (15,000 feet elevation), where I saw but one, flying very fast 
at the top of the pass over the dwarf Tibetan furze (Carayana versi- 
color). On the next pass, the ‘ Runang,’ about 14,800 feet, I saw 
a good many of this species flying very fast up and down the bare 
stony slopes just at the summit of the pass. I never saw the insect
