chrysitis, L., was seen in great numbers (Lahore, 26-iv-07), 

 and a butterfly was also seen on the first named.

In the sixth of this series of papers, I classed Calotropis

The reader will find lists of visitors to species in the Simla 

 Hdls in Note No. 6, to species in the Sikkim Hills in Note No. 

 5, and to one further species in Note No. 7. The following are
