which means that, all in all, something is known of the earlier stages of 42 genera

 HesperiidcB bred, 57 have been discovered in the Kanara District of the Bombay 

 Presidency alone and that by only three individuals. The earlier butterfly 

 breeding operations in Kanara were pubhshed in this Society's Journal (Bombay
