A. leechii is a good race of balu- 

 cha and has nothing to do with 

 soracta. In the B. M. as fema- 

 le balucha are placed several 

 yellow butterflies caught by ine 

 in Chitral in quite different 

 localities to those frequented 

 by balucha : they are in fact a 

 form of nabellica and I propose 

 to call them Itesba : they vary 

 from nearly white to lemon 

 yellow, more or less dusted 

 with black scales but never so 

 profusely as nabellica often is : 

 the hindwing is rarely dusted 

 with black scales.

In the B. M. the series of cani- 

 dia from S. India presents a 

 different appearance to the 

 numerous specimens from N. 

 India, though it is not easy to 

 put the difference in words : 

 the Southern form is larger 

 with the black markings more 

 developed especially those on 

 the margin of the hindwing. I 

 propose to call this race caiii^.

melete from China is a large and 

 very distinct form : Indian

 riation, dry season Kashmir

 but the Eastern form separated 

 by Verity as montana resem- 

 bles the form from Mussoorie, 

 etc., very closely.
