1886.] ON LEPIDOFFERA FROM WESTERN INDIA. 355 



8. On Lepidoptera collected by Major Yerbury in Western 

 India. By Arthur G. Butler, F.L.S., F.Z.S., &c. 



[Eeceived June 25, 1886.] 

 (Plate XXXV.) 



Major Yerbury has recently presented to the Museum a fine series 

 of Lepidoptera collected by himself at Campbellpore ; along with the 

 specimens he has forvYarded numerous notes of considerable interest ; 

 therefore it is the more desirable that an account of the collection 

 should be published. Unfortunately some of the specimens were 

 pinned, and amongst these were several specimens of Caligula Simla ; 

 the usual result naturally followed — the abdomen of one of these 

 large Saturniids broke off, and not only more or less damaged the 

 other specimens of this species, but made such havoc amongst some 

 of the smaller Moths as to render their identification hopeless. 



Major Yerbury has sent the following notes on the various loca- 

 lities mentioned by him : — 



" Campbellpore. A military station about 40 miles from Rawal 

 Pindee. Height above sea-level, 1 200 ft. ; situated on a cultirated 

 sandy plain. Tlie river Haro flows past the cantonment at a 

 distance of about 2 miles to the southward and eastward ; the 

 country across the river is very much broken up by water-courses 

 and with rocky spurs running down to the river. 



"Attack. A military station to the N.W. of Campbellpore and 

 12 miles off; situated among barren hills on the banks of the Indus. 



'^ Khairabad. Railway-station across the Indus, opposite Attock ; 

 barren hills all round. 



" Lawrencepore . Au abandoned military station 9 miles from 

 Campbellpore, on the banks of the Haro. 



" Chittar Pahar. A range of hills running east and west ; the 

 nearest point to Campbellpore about 7 miles across Haro. The 

 highest peak of this range is about 3600 ft., but Kala Dilli, Lum- 

 bahdun, and other places mentioned are probably only from 1500 to 

 1800 feet above sea-level. Limestone, thickly covered with vegeta- 

 tion to the north ; barren, with scattered bushes of baubul and jin- 

 netta, on the south side. 



" Thundiani. Hill-station near Abbottabad (8/00 feet ?). 



"Kala Pani. Stage between Thundiani and Abbottabad (6000 

 feet ?). 



" Bugnoter. First stage from Abbottabad on the Abbottabad and 

 Murree road (6000 feet ?). 



"Murree and Rawal Pindee road.— Tre^, 5000 feet?, first stage 

 from Murree; Chittar, 3000 feet?; Barracoo, 2500 feet, second 

 stage; Rawal Pindee, 1800 feet? 



" Dewal, 6000 feet ; first stage on Murree and Cashmere road. 



" Hassan Abdal, 1600 feet ? ; midway between Rawal Pindee and 

 Campbellpore.
