cession : in Poona the first lot of larvae in June, in the height of the 

 monsoon rains, became pupae in 14 or 15 days, and only remained 

 in the larval stage 10 days ; but the last lot in September were much 

 more delicate and slower in growth. They fed for a month, and the 

 perfect insect did not emerge until the following June, with the 

 commeucemeut of the monsoon rains.

 also from Kotree, North Sind, taken in March 1880.
