" Nisan Jani. Mountain near Kalabagh, Abbottabad and Murree 

 road ; highest point nearly 10,000 feet." 



The collection contains examples of 178 species, many of them 

 represented by a fair series of specimens, mostly identified for the 

 collector (but frequently erroneously) by Mr. de Nic^ville. Six of the 

 Butterflies and nineteen of the Moths are described as new, and several 

 other species probably new to science, but in bad coniiition, are indi- 

 cated in order to show that there is still much to be done in that part 

 of India by any one who will take the trouble to collect Lepidoptera.

1. LiMNAS CHRYSIPPUS. 



Papilio chrysippus, Linnaeus, Svst. Nat. 1758, p. 471. 



cJ, Campbellpore, 19th and 26th July, 1885; $, 20th June 

 and 26th July, 1885 ; Dewal near Murree", 24th August. 



One of the females has a tawny subapical patcli beyond the white 

 hand on primaries, exhibiting a slight tendency to modification in 

 the direction of L. khigii. 



1 A. LiMNAS ALCIPPOIDES. 



Limnas alci])poides, Moore, P. Z. S. 1883, p. 238, pi. xxxi. fig. 1. 



5, Campbellpore, 17th and 21st June and 18th July, 1885. 



The specimens of this form obtained by Major Yerbury tend 

 to confirm my expressed opinion that it is a reversional sport of 

 L. chrysippus ; the three specimens differ as follows : — 



a. Primaries as in L. alcippus ; secondaries with the veins, 

 internal area, and centre of median interspaces snow-white. 



b. Primaries as in L. chrysippus ; secondaries with the veins, 

 internal area, and centre of median interspaces whitish. 



c. Primaries as in L. chrysippus ; secondaries above pale, below 

 white. 



Major Yerbury says of L. chrysippus : — " Very common. May, 

 June, July, October, November, December. Caterpillar common 

 in Jul}', feeds on Calotrojjis giganteu ; agrees with the description 

 given in ' The Eutterflies of India,' and appears to be the same as 

 that reared at Aden, where it fed on either this or some closely 

 allied plant." Of L. alcippoides he says : — " Some eight specimens 

 taken in all during May and June 1885 ; varies greatly in the 

 amount of white on the hind wing." 



2. LiMNAS KLUGII. 



Limnas kluyii, Butler, P. Z. S. 1885, p. 758. n. 2. 



Euploea doripjjus, var., Klug, Symb. Phys. pi. 48. fig. 5. 

 ?, Campbellpore, 11th June, 1885. 



" Not so common as L. alcippoides ; only four specimens taken 

 during May and 2ud to 11th June, 1885. All these specimens have 

 curious leprous-like spots on their wings." — J. IF. Y.
