The female (which is a cripple) was sent to me, along with its 

 eggs, some time ago ; it nearly resembles the female otP. japonica 

 excepting that it is smaller. Some of the eggs were hatched about 

 the beginning of ]\Iay and, by my advice, were placed upon young 

 hawthorn ; upon this and upon oak they have since lived, but their 

 growth has, so far, been very slow ; at the present time (June 5th) 

 they are in their second moult and measure 11 miliim. in length. 

 Dorsal surface slate-grey, with a central series of seven spots com- 

 mencing on the fourth segment, the fifth of these spots ochreous, 

 the others red ; the spots are connected by a slender longitudinal 

 pale line and are bounded on each side by black spots ; the subdorsal 

 line is slender and whitish ; tiie sides and ventral surface ash-grey ; 

 a lateral series of testaceous tubercles crowned with radiating bristles 

 and connected by a very slender blackish line ; tubercles of the 

 second and two last segments very prominent and terminating in 

 very long bristles; legs testaceous; head dark testaceous, the eyes 

 bounded internally by two large fusiform black spots.

" Cocoons very common all along the hills from Murree to 

 Thundiani, August and beginning of September. The males all came 

 out early in September, the females later ; the latter appear to 

 remain on their cocoons, as several were taken thus late in September. 

 Cocoon and chrysalis sent." — J. W. Y. 



The cocoon of T. vishnou, which bears some resemblance to a 

 quaint bearded face, is too well known to be worth redescribing 

 here.
