234 MR. F. MOORE ON LEPIDOPTERA [Feb. 21, 



Col. St. John writes to me as follows respecting this animal : — 

 " The Markhore was caught in the hills at the upper end of the 

 Bolan Pass. The popular story there is that the Pass itself divides the 

 two species of Capra — 0. megaceros never being found to the west, nor 

 G. cegagrus to the east of the Pass. The insignificant dimensions of 

 the Pass make the truth of this story impossible ; and shikaris have 

 assured me that both species are fouad on the Chilteu Mountains, 

 N.W. of the head oi the Pass. But the Bolan is about the line 

 where the two meet ; and I am inclined to doubt whether C. megaceros 

 is ever found in the Helmund yalley proper." 



Amongst the deaths in February I regret to have to record that 

 of the Great Ant-eater {Myrmecophaga jubata), presented by Dr. 

 John A. PaUn, C.M.Z.S., October 4, 1867. It is, however, I sup- 

 pose, unprecedented that an animal of this delicate nature should 

 live so long as 14 years in captivity. 



The following papers were read : — 



1. List of the Lepidoptera collected by the Rev. J. H. 

 Hocking, chiefly in the Kangra District, N.W. Hima- 

 laya ; with Descriptions of new Genera and Species. — 

 Part I. By F. Moore, F.Z.S. 



[Received January 25, 1882.] 

 (Plates XI., XII.) 



The collection of Lepidoptera, of which the following is a list, 

 was formed by Mr. Hocking whilst resident for several years at the 

 hill-station of Dharmsala, and has been placed in my hands by Lord 

 Walsingham for examination. Many of the species are accompanied 

 by well-preserved specimens of the dried larval skin and pupa, 

 several of which were previously unknown, and are therefore an 

 exceedingly valuable contribution to our knowledge of their earlier 

 stages.
