16 lb, 1 oz. Probably it was the mother of some of the first ova that went 

 to Kulu when troat were introduced into the Punjab from Kashmir. 

 Pundit Sodhama, who is standing behind the fish is still in charge of the 

 Hatcheries at Harwan and came to us in the end of 1900 when we got out 

 our first ova from the Duke of Bedford. At that time he was suffering 

 from consumption, but the fine air and life in the open cured him and he 

 has turned out a most valuable man. I sent him with the first ova to Kulu, 

 where at the time Mr. Howell was Assistant Commissioner, and the watch 

 he is wearing ia the photo was presented to him by the Punjab Government 

 in recognition of his services there. He is a most willing and intelligent 

 man who speaks no English, but is well read in Sanskrit and all fishermen 

 who appreciate trout fishing in our hills should bear him in grateful memory 

 for the good work he has done .

No. XXIV.— NOTES ON THE OCCURRENCE OF DANAIS HEGI- 

 SIPPUS, Cram ; DANAIS DORIPFUS, Klug ; AND EUPLCEK 

 MULCIBER, TYP. & VAR. KALINGA FROM UNRECORDED 

 LOCALITIES IN THE MADRAS PRESIDENCY. 



(1) It may be of interest to many readers of the Natural History 

 Society's Journal to learn that a $ of Danah heguippuii was captured at 

 Rajahmundry in Godavari District on 14th October 1908, and a second 

 specimen was seen a week after at Guntur. Prior to this, I believe this 

 species has not been recorded from anywhere in the Madras Presidency. 

 This specimen is on view at the Coimbatore Gass Museum. 



(2) On the 3rd November 1913. a fine (5 of D. dorippus, King, was cap- 

 tured at Amridi Plantation, 16 miles south-west of Vellore, North Arcot 

 District ; two days prior to this capture several 5 specimens of Hypolimnati 

 misippus, 2nd form, very closely resembling D. doripjnis were captured very 

 close to the locality where the above capture of D. do)ipptcs was made. The 

 specimen is with me at present ; on first sight it was mistaken for a large $ 

 of H. misippus, 2nd form, but its flight resembled the flight of D. chrysippus. 

 I believe this is the first recorded occurrence of this dimorph in the Madras 

 Presidency. I informed Mr. Hannyngton, i.c.s., of its capture and he had 

 not heard any case of its previous occurrence in South India. 



(3) Bingham does not record the occurrence of Euplcea 7nulciber anywhere 

 in the Madras Presidency. In February 1898, several specimens were 

 captured by me in the Rhamba Forest Reserve, Ganjam District. 



(4) In October 1906 two c? s of EuplcBct mulciber, var. kalhiga, were 

 captured in the Bollapalli Forest Reserve in the Guntur District, and in 

 November 1907 numerous S and 5 were captured at Maliavaram in the 

 Godavari District, the former two were given to Mr. N. S. Brodie, i.c.s., 

 and several of the latter several specimens are on view at the Coimbatore 

 Gass Museum. 



I think the above records, though belated, should find a place in the 

 Society's Journal.
