alternative food, Rourea santaloides^ also too common by half. 

 Up to this date we have only reared two specimens, which were for- 

 tunately both females. The larva is very like that of C. hnna, Butler, 

 but the white semicircle on the back of the latter is replaced by a 

 yellowish crescent. The pupa is just like that of C. irana. 



The flight of this butterfly is very powerful, as might be inferred 

 from the robustness of the thorax. We have observed before that 

 robust butterflies grow slowly, and this is borne out by the present 

 species. A larva, which emerged from the egg on October 25th, did 

 not become a pupa till January 26th, and no part of this time was 

 passed in hibernation.

 . This is found everywhere and at all seasons. We have described the 

 transformations in our former paper, p. 227, n, 38. The food-plants 

 are many, Poinciana^ Ccesalpinia^ Gfewia, &c.

 Though more generally distributed, this is not nearly so common as 

 the last. The larva, which feeds on the tamarind tree, was described 

 and figured with the pupa in our former paper, p. 2783 n. 39. 

 67. C. imna, Butler. 

 From the number of males that collect on popular basking places 

 this cannot be uncommon, but females are rarely seen. The larva 

 and pupa were described and figured in our former paper, p. 278, n. 40. 

 We have reared them from June to November on *' Wom " {Sacco- 

 petalum tomentosuni) and on Aglaia roxburghiana. 

 Family LEMONIID^. 

 Subfamily LiBYTHiEiNiE. 

 68. Libythea mi/ri'ha, Godart, or rama, Moore. 

 This is perhaps the rarest of all our butterflies. In six years we 

 have got two specimens, both on the top of a high hill near Karwar. 

 Subfamily NEMEOBiiNiE. 

 69. Abisara fraterna, Moore. 

 This is very common at all seasons, perching on leaves with its wings 

 partly open, and facing about every now and then in a way peculiar 

 to itself. They fly ranch at dusk, very swiftly, chasing each other 

 in the air. The larva and pupa were described in our former paper j
