 Family— PAPILIONIDJ5. 



155. * Papilio aeacus, Feldev. — Has been met with in horse-chestnut forests 

 iu May in the inner ranges at about 8,000 ft. I have not come across it. 



1-5(5. Papilio aristolochia?, Fabr. — Occurs sparingly in the Tarai in April, 

 May, December and January. 



157. Papilio varuna astorion, Westwood. — Rare at Naini Tal in May and 

 September at 7,000 ft. 



158. * Papilio aidoneus, Doubleday. — Rare in interior of Garhwal in May. 

 I have not received specimens from further west than Sikhim. 



159. Papilio latreillii, Donovan.— Rare at 8,000 ft. in Pindari Valley in 

 May and August. 



160. Papilio philoxenus, Gray. — Common in May and again in August 

 and September at 7,000 to 9,000 ft. Hying round horse-chestnut flowers, 

 and rhododendrons, Binsar, Naini Tal, etc. 



161. Papilio machaon sphyrus, Rothschild.— Common from May-November, 

 3,000 to 9,000 ft. 



16:2. Papilio demoleus, Linn. — Common. June to October, 1,500-3,000 ft. 



163. Papilio ravana, Moore. — Not uncommon in May and September at 

 from 6-10,000 ft. 



164. Papilio helenus, Linn.— "Kali Valley, 2,000 ft. scarce. " (Doherty). 

 It is decidedly rare in W. Kumaun whence I have received no specimens. 

 I have no doubt that it occurs along the foot of the outer xanges as it has 

 been taken as far west as Dehra Dun (vide Vol. XI, p. 592 of the Society's 

 Journal).

 ber.

 tember up to 7,000 ft. 



167. Papilio janaka, Moore. — Rare in May, 6,000 ft. near Loharkhet. 



168. Papilio polytes, Linn. — Common up to 5,000 ft., May-November. I 

 have not yet come across the sahontala form while the romulus form of 

 the female seems to occur only in the Tarai. 



169. Papilio agestor govindra, Moore.— Common at 7-9,000 ft., March to 

 May ; Naini Tal, Binsar, Dhakuri, etc. 



170. Papilio clytia diSSimitis, Doubleday, — Fairly common up to 6,000 ft*
