1874.] LEPIDOPTERA OF CASHMERE. 265 



Capt. Reed says, in litt. : — "I was on the whole much disap- 

 pointed with Cashmere as a field for the entomologist ; by Cashmere 

 I mean the valley itself, where the only butterflies seen are of the 

 commonest species. My best hunting-grounds were the ranges of 

 hills crossed en route from the plains to the valley, viz. the Pir 

 Punjal range (11400 feet), the Ruttun Pir (8200 ft.); and Soona- 

 murg, a beautiful plateau on the Ladak road, and some 7000 feet 

 high, afforded good sport."
