captured in Kaslirair, in 1872, by Capt. R. Bayne Reed (MS. Notes). Ca[)t. A. M. 

 Lang records both " Fammon and Fohjtes as I'are, occurring at low elevations " 

 (P. Z. S. 18G.5, 487). He also writes, " I have seen caught at Kasauli a Papilio like 

 ruli/tes, but with the forewings slashed with white between the median and di^coidal 

 veinlets (Romulus) ; at Umballa I have lately taken two egg-laden females — one of 

 Fammon, one of Fohjtes. The former is abundant here, not so the latter" (Ejjlsf. 

 Aug. 2-ith, ISGi). Major J. W. Yerbury took "Fammon at Hurripur ia October" 

 (Ann. N. H. 1838, 20G). Major H. B. Hellard obtained it at " Abbottabad and 

 Rawul Pindi, Simla, and Masuri " (MS. Notes). Major H. C. Harford reared the 

 larva at Kasauli, in October, 1889, and from his original drawings our figures on 

 Plate 462 are copied. Mr. P. W, Mackiunon found it " very common in the low 

 valleys near Masuri from April to October, and in the Dehra Dun almost throughout 

 the year. The females are of three forms — the 3rd form, which mimics Hector, 

 although that butterfly does not occur in the sauie area. We have a single 

 specimen, taken in the Dun in July, which is exactly intermediate between forms 

 2 and 3, as it has the yellowish-white markings on the upperside of the forewings 

 as in form 3, and a small patch of white in and beyond the cell of the hindwing on 

 the upperside, as in form 2. In the Dehra Dun one of the food plants of the 

 larva is Murrai/a Ku-ni,jii, N. 0. Rutaceaj (J. Bombay N. H. S. 1898, 59:>). Mr. W. 

 Doherty obtained it in " Kumaon generally, from 1000 to 6000 feet elevation ; 

 common" (J. As. Soc. Beng. 181:6, 137). The Rev. J. li. Hocking found the 

 " larva on the Lemon tree, in the Kangra Hills, in June. The perfect insect, male 

 and female of 7 Vnrrmo» form, fly from j\Iarch to December at an elevation of GOOO 

 feet. The I'ohffcs form is more restricted to the hot valleys, not appearing before 

 June, and very rarely found above 4000 feet" (P. Z. S. 1882, 2-50). Capt. H. L. 

 Chaumette found it at " Luckuow ; it frequents shady copses and is fond of the 

 flowers of the Orange tribe. Flight heavy. The larva found in March feeding on 

 the Shaddock (Citrus dccumana) and reared. The imago is rather common, and is 

 on the wing almost the whole year" (MS. Notes). 



Proceeding south wai'ds, we have Col. C. Swinhoe's record of " one pair of 

 Pammon, said to have been taken in Karachi. The female of DijjJiilus pattern not 

 observed in Karachi by me " (P. Z. S. 1881, 512). " I saw quantities of Fohjtes on 

 my march from Bombay to Saugo;*, C. India, but not one of Fammon" (Capt. 

 Chaumette, But. Mo. Mag. 1865, 37). Dr. A. Leith, in his Bombay MS. Notes, 

 writes, " I observed F. Fanniion on July 26th, 1859, depositing eggs on the opening- 

 buds of Triphasia trifoliata. The twigs were gathered and the cater[)illars appeared 

 on July 29th, and were reared, the pupa3 being formed August 19th, the butterflies, 

 several of Fammon and one of Fohjtes, emei'ging on September 1st." Col. C. 

 Swinhoe found it "common in Mhow, C. India, from Sept. to March. The
