" Common at Murree in August and September ; found along this 

 hill as far as Thundiani, also at Dewal. 



" This butterfly is fond of pitching on the trunks of trees, par- 

 ticularly of the ilex when the tree has been wounded and the sap 

 is exuding. I have taken several in company with Pyrameis indica 

 and a large greenish beetle (Cetonia, sp.?) while thus engaged." —

" Rare in Murree, ten specimens taken end of August ; very common 

 at the top of Thundiani, 23rd to 24th September."—/. W. T. 



Major Yerbury sent us two perfect specimens and one much broken ; 

 in their fresh condition I hardly recognized them as conspecific with 

 the dingy series of very old specimens in the Museum, and I much 

 regret that our good friend did not send as long a series of this 

 species as of Libythea lepita.
