4,000 ft. A dry season male taken in February at the foot of the hills is 

 very small and has the apex of the forewing distinctly truncated ; on the 

 underside the ocelli are quite wanting and both wings are crossed by a 

 dark conspicuous dark lilacine brownish-grey band. 



146. Junonia hierta, Fabricius. — Fairly common at low elevations. 



147. Junonia almana, Linn. — Not uncommon ; dry season forms taken in 

 February and October at the foot of the hills up to 4,500 ft. Wet season 

 forms taken in October. 



148. Vanessa cardui, Linn. — Very common throughout the year at about 

 5,000. ft. 



149. Vanessa indica, Kerhst. — Common throughout the year at 6,000- 

 (5,000 ft. 



150. Vanessa canace, Joliannsen. — Rather common from July to October 

 at 4,000-6,000 ft. ; less plentiful in the Winter. 



151. Araschnia dohertyi, Moore. — Fairly common, appearing first on the 

 winw in August, fresh specimens fly up to the beginning of October. Two 

 worn specimens taken as late as 7th November. Not seen below 5,000 ft., 

 most of the specimens were taken at 6,000-7,000 ft. 



Bingham remarks '' a slightly divergent form. Differs f rom pjwsowZes iu 

 the white not ochraceous discal band on the upperside of the wings, and 

 the more slender terminal markings." 



In his description he also states that most of the markings are white. 

 In all my fresh specimens these markings are yellow, the two spots in 

 interspaces 3 and 4 only inclining to white, in some specimens these also 

 are quite yellow. In some %oorn specimens these yellow markings become 

 whitish and in a few specimens all the markings are white on both wings ; 

 I think it likely that Bingham's description is based on a worn specimen ; 

 Mr. Elwes gives excellent figures of both sexes in his notes on Naga Hill 

 butterflies previously referred to. This butterfly has, I believe, only been 

 recorded from these hills. 



152. Symbrenthia lucina, Cramer. — Common throughout the year. The 

 seasonal forms do not vary much ; a specimen taken in February, the 

 height of the dry season is as dark as any wet season form. It occurs 

 from the foot of the hills up to. 6,000 ft. 



153. Symbrenthia hypselis, Godart. — Rather common. There appear to- 

 be three seasonal forms (1) a large dark form taken commonly at about 

 5,000 ft. and sparingly at 1,700 ft. from July to November ; (2) a small form 

 with broader and paler fulvous markings {S. cotanda, Moore) taken in 

 October at 5,000 ft. and at the foot of the hills in February and March : 

 (3) an intermediate form taken at 1,700 ft. in June i*.nd July. 



154. Symbrenthta niphanda, Moore. — Rare, only two males and a female 

 obtained in two years' collecting at 5,000-6,000 ft. in August and 

 October.
