206 THE ENTOMOLOGIST S RECORD. 
one thing it is difficult to take two alike, and the alleged dry season 
form occurs commonly in the wet season and vice versa. 
Charaxes fabius.—Apparently of rare occurrence, I only observed a 
single specimen. 
FEulepis athamas.—Fairly common, but very local, I only found © 
one small district where it could be found, and generally congregated 
on a single Lantana bush, although this plant was growing everywhere. 
Euthalia garuda.—Generally common, it was particularly fond of 
sitting on wet mud at the edge of a tank or stream. 
Athyma perius.—Not common, I only saw a few odd specimens 
at Hebal. 
Cyrestis thyodamus.—A single specimen seen. 
Junonia iphita, J. lemonias, J. orithya, J. hierta, and J. almana.— 
All common and generally distributed; very fond of sunning them- 
selves on hot stones. 
Pyrameis cardui.—Odd examples everywhere. 
Hypolimnas bolina.—Very abundant especially in September. 
Hypolimnas misippus.—Abundant. The female, although closely 
resembling chrysippus, cannot be mistaken on the wing, owing to the 
latter flying in the open, misippus female never leaves the vicinity of 
bushes and is given to flying through them. The female is not often 
seen although the male can be seen in hundreds. 
Atella phalantha.—Very abundant everywhere from June to 
September. 
Telchinia violae—Very abundant in moist woods. I was fortunate 
in taking a rather nice aberration of this species, the spots of which 
are joined together forming a black discal blotch. 
This, I think, completes the list of butterflies taken in Bangalore, 
a total of 60 species, I do not pretend that this by any means exhausts 
the resources of the district, as my time was limited and facilities for 
visiting some of the more promising districts were wanting. I 
feel confident that if some of the hilly and jungle districts were 
visited this list would seem a very meagre one.
