if the eggs might be laid in clusters. The larv^ have no habits 

 that distinguish them in qi\j way from those of A. 'nippo. The pupa 

 is generalljr attached to the underside of a leaf by a strong tail- 

 fixing and a close body-band, or to the trunk of a tree or branch 

 either horizontally or upright. The caterpillars are quick growers, 

 eating continuously ; and the pupal stage is of short duration. The 

 butterflies are fast, strong fliers like the rest of the genus and 

 frequent the evergreen parts of the North Kanara District in the 

 Bombay Presidency from sea-level up to 2,500 or 3,000 feet. They 

 are not found in the plain country being seemingh" confined to the 

 hill jungles where the rain is heavy. They like the sunshine and 

 may be found drinking in nalla-beds and on muddy roads in the hot 

 weather in great numbers at times, though they do not seem to 

 frequent flowers much ; they fl}^ very high and round the tops of 

 the highest trees.
