base of tlie stems, and assume a pro-erect attitude, whicli, with the peculiar spectacle- 

 like marking on the shield, give it a most pugnacious appearance. The tentacles of 

 tlie 2nd segment are pale greenish-yellow, it is difficult to get them to protrude 

 these appendages, but when doing so the head is thrown well back, and the tentacles 

 directed well over the head ; a powerful odour, similar to the smell of the leaf, being 

 emitted at the same time. I have never found more than four larvae on any one 

 bush, and have taken numbers at Abbottabad and on the Simla Hills, about Solon, 

 Sabathu, and Kasauli, and also at Dalhousie, where the Teemun shrub flourishes " 

 (Major H. C. Harford, Kasauli, MS. Notes.) 



DrsTEiBTJTiON. — Capt. R. Bayne Reed obtained it in Kashmir. Major H. B. 

 Hellard took it in " Kashmir and Simla in July, August, and September " (MS. Notes). 

 Capt. A. M. Lang recorded it as " abundant about springs, rivulets, and on the damp 

 sandy margins of larger streams, in all parts of the N.-W. Himalayas, at least as far 

 as the crossing of the Sutlej at Wangtoo, but as we approach the bleaker Tibetan 

 uplands it disappears. The larva feeds on ZanthoxyJum hasfih" (P. Z. S. 1865, 

 487). Col. J. W. Yerbury records it as " fairly common at Murree in August. A 

 few seen along the Hills as far as Thundiani in September. A female obtained 

 between Abbottabad and Kala Pani in September" (P. Z. S. 1886, 377). Mr. W. 

 Doherty took it at " Almora, Sarjii, and Ramganga Valleys, Kumaon, at 2,000 to 

 5,000 feet elevation " (J. As. Soc. Beng. 188G, 136). Col. J. C. Pilcher obtained it 

 in Kumaon in May and August. Mr. P. W. Mackinuon records it as " very common 

 in the low valleys about Masiiri from Miirch to October, wherever the food plant of 

 the larva Zanthoxyhifii alattim, N. 0. Rutacea3, is plentiful. A few specimens are 

 taken every year in the Station of Masuri, at least 6,000 feet elevation. The small 

 specimens of the spring-brood (P. Peeroza) ai-e of course taken in the same spots 

 where the butterflies of the larger rains-brood are found " (J. Bombay N. H. S. 

 1898, 594). Gen. G. Ramsay obtained it in Nepal.
