The single example sent in the present collection belongs to a 

 rather rare sport of the species, in which the usual orange spots on 

 the under surface are replaced by greyish testaceous spots. 



83. Papilio asiaticus. 



Papilio machaon, var. asiatica, Menetries, Cat. Mus. Petr., Lep. i. 

 p. 70(1855). 



Campbellpore, 9th July; Murree, 1st October, 1885. 



"A few at Campbellpore in June and July; common at Murree 

 in August ; found commonly on the lower slopes of Thundiani in 

 September 1885."—/. W. Y.

Major Yerbury sends this and the following under the same

Respecting these two species Major Yerbury says : — " Fairly 

 common at Murree in August ; a few seen along the hills as far as 

 Tliundiani in September." It would therefore appear that P. 

 polyctor is a month later than P. arcturus ; only the single specimen 

 of the former sent to us is much worn and must have been quite a 

 month on the wing.

 Hassan Abdal, 13th October, 1885. 



Major Yerbury has received the names of P. bada and P. beavani 

 for this species, and lie says: — "There are two 'skippers' under 

 this number : both species were common at Murree in August and 

 September." Neither of these species is represented amongst the 

 five examples in this collection, all of which are quite typical 

 P. mangala, the row of spots on the secondaries being larger and
