wing during the rainy season. The larva and pupa were described i» 

 our former paper (Journal Bombay Natural History Society, Vol, V, 

 p. 358, n. 57, 1890). The larva is of the form which we have men- 

 tioned as characterising nearly the whole of the sub-family, but with 

 this species we enter on quite a new type of pupa. The band is short, so 

 that the ventral side is applied close to the surface to which the pupa is 

 attached ; the thorax is stout and not compressed or keeled ; segment 

 No. 7 bears on the back a sharp transverse ridge ending in pointed lateral 

 processes. Capparis horrida seems to be the favorite food of this species; 

 also commonly found on Craiceva religiosa, Porst. Eggs laid singly.

Our yellow Appias, which we have put under this name with some 

 misgiving, is found in the same situations as the last, and is almost 

 as common, but seems to come out more during the rainy season. It 

 has in fact a distinct rainy-season form, which, we understand, 

 should he known as C. taprobana^ Moore. We have bred it from 

 December to May on capers. The eggs are laid in clusters. The 

 larva and pupa are not very different from those of the last species ; 

 the pupa may be distinguished from the last by the second segment 

 being produced laterally into a tongue-like process which embraces 

 the shoulder.

This species is found in the forests on the slope of the ghats 

 during the dry season, but is not by any means so numerous as the 

 last two. The sexes vary surprisingly in size, so much so that we 

 were tempted to think there was more than one species, but we have 

 since ascertained that the small specimens are invariably females and 

 the large ones males. We have not bred this, but saw one laying 

 her eggs on a climbing caper.

We have caught a few specimens of this in the district chiefly in 

 the southern parts. We have not bred it.

This is very common everywhere, but much less so in the monsoon 

 than in the dry-season. The larva and pupa are of the same type as 

 those of Appias, but stouter. The larva is green, and the pupa green 

 with brown and white edgings. Food-plant, capers as usual,
