118. Vanessa rizaaa. — Occurs in inner ranges above 10,000 ft. in July 

 and August. 



119. *VaB.essa la3.a&ensis, Moore. — "Near Kalapani, Nepalese Tibet, 

 14.000 ft." (Doherty). 



120. Vanessa, santhomslaeaa, Denis. — Common on Cheena, Binsar, and 

 Dhakuri from March to May and again in October at 8,000 to 11,000 ft. The 

 life-history of this butterfly as described by de Niceville (Vol. II, p. ) is very 

 strange. It is certainly double -brooded but I do not believe that the second 

 brood " disappears" from June till the following March as I have it from the 

 Pindari Valley in October. It seems more probable that it passes the winter 

 as an imago like so many of its congeners, emerging early in the following 

 spring and producing a second brood in September. I obtained the larvse 

 from Bmsar early in October, but tbey unfortunately died before pupat- 

 ing. 



121. Vanessa canacSj Johannsen. — Common in May and June and again 

 in September and October at 5,000 to 10,000 ft. 



122. Vanessa C. aVbam, Linn. — Not uncommon in the Pindari Valley at 

 8.000-12,000 ft. in May and August. 



123. Symbreathia lucina, Cram. (= S. hippoclus, de N .) Common 

 in April, May, August, September and October in wooded nullahs from 

 3,000-6,000 ft. 



124. SynVbrenthia hypsellS, Godart. — Not uncommon throughout Kumaun 

 in April and May and again in September, October at 2,000-6,000 ft. often 

 along with the last-named. 



125. SynVbreathia "brabira, I\Ioore.~- Doherty separates the wet and dry- 

 seasun forms of this species (as hysudra and S. asthala). It is fairly common 

 in the inner valleys at 7-9,000 ft. in May and August. 



126. Hypoliianas "bolina, Linn. — This fine butterfly appears on the wing- 

 in July, and may be found from the plains up to 8,000 ft. till December. 



127. HvPOlimnas misiPPUS, Linn. — Not so common and confined to the 

 outer ranges up to 4,000 ft. in April and again from August to November. 



128. Kallima iaacaus, Boisduval. — Common in nullahs from 2,000 to 

 6,000 ft. April to October. 



129. *Cetaosia cyane, Drury. — Though recorded from Kumaun, I have 

 not yet come across any specimens. It doubtless occurs on the Eastern border 

 as it is common in Sikkim. 



130. Atell^. Paalantna, Drury.- — Very common from June to December 

 up to 7,000 ft. 



131. IsSOria Sinaa, Kollar.— Rare at Nalena 4,f,00 ft. in May and again in 

 September.
