a single example in Kulu. In Kuinaou, Mr. W. Dolierty (J. Asiat. Soc. Beno-. 1886 

 114) found it " common in the Kali valley to Dhavcliula, Gori, and Sarju valleys 

 2—4000 feet." Mr. Da Niceville says (Butt. Ind. i. 75) that " in Kumaon it is found 

 but rarely in the warm valleys during the rains," and that " he took a single speci- 

 men at Kalka in the Punjab, in October." Col. Lang also records the capture of a 

 specimen " at Sitapur" in the plains of Oudh (Ent. Mo. Mag. 1864, 104). In Nepal 

 it appears to be common near Khatmandu, as both Gen. G. Ramsav and Dr. Scully 

 obtained numerous specimens. Mr. De Niceville (Butt. Ind. i. 75) " took it com- 

 monly in the Sikkim Terai, and below Darjiling in the autumn." In the Runiit 

 Valley 1200 to 3500 feet elevation, it was obtained in November. Mr. J. H. Elwes 

 (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 301, says it is "common in Sikkim up to 6000 or 7000 feet from 

 April to December." Dr. G. Watt (Ann. Nat. Hist. 1885, 301) obtained it on the 

 borders of Assam. It also occurs at Sibsagur. Mr. J. L. Sherwill recently obtained 

 it on the Naga Hills. " In the Khasia Hills, it is common in the autumn and cold 

 weather" (Butt. Ind. i. 75). Mr. J. Wood-Mason records it (J. A. S. Beng. 1887, 

 345) as " common dm-ing the hot weather (March to October) in Cachar, and on 

 Nemotha Peak, 8634 feet elevation" (J. A. S. Beng. 1887, 345). In Burma, it has 

 been taken at Mandalay ; Rangoon in December ; and Moulmein in October. In 

 Upper Tennasserim Mr. 0. Limborg (P. Z. S. 1878, 823) obtained it during the cold 

 weather at " Ahsown 2000 feet, from Moulmein to Meetan, at Hatsiega, Houngduran, 

 and from Nathoung to Paboga," and Capt. Bingham " found it common in the 

 Thoungyeen forests in March and April." Mr. Elwes records (J. A. S. Beng. 1887, 

 416) several specimens from " Tavoy and hills on Siam frontier." Dr. J. Anderson 

 (J. Linn. Soc. Zool. 1886, 31) found it common in the Mergui Archipelago from 

 November to March. Mr. Doherty records (J. A. S. Beng. 1886, 256) the capture 

 of a single specimen of the female at Bompoka on Pahat in the Nicobar Islands. 



DiSTBiBUTiON OUTSIDE INDIAN Abea. — Mr. E. L. Layard obtained it at Chentaboon, 

 a mountainous district 200 miles from Bangkok on the east coast of the Gulf of Siam 

 (P. Z. S. 1874, 103). It is also recorded from Camboja. Mr. H. E. Hobson (P. Z. S- 

 ] 877, 810) obtained it in Formosa. In the Malay Peninsula, Mr. Distant (Rhop. 

 Malayaua, 24) records it from Malacca, Province Wellesley, and from Pinang. It 

 also occurs in Singapore, Salanga, and Sumatra (those from the latter place forming 

 the type of Forbes' T. Vanderiventeri.) 



Parasite of T. Linn^i. — In the Proc. of the Entom. Soc. of London, vol. ii. 

 (1836), p. vi. plate 2, figs. 9, 10, a species of Chalcis, namely, 0. {Brachymeria) euplccce^ 

 is described and figured by Westwood as being " parasitic upon the pupce of an 

 East Indian Euploea, — received by the Rev. F. W. Hope, — twenty-one specimens of 

 which emerged from one chrysalis." From the figure given of the chrysalis here 

 referred to, it evidently belongs to the present species. This species of Brachymeria
