of wbicli only the row along the spiracular line is conspicuous ; the spiracles are 

 oval, shiny and white. Length 51 mm." 



Pupa. — " The pupa has the dorsal line of the thorax absolutely parallel to the 

 longitudinal axis for two-thirds its length ; consequently the hinder part just before 

 the margin is perpendicular to this parallel part, i.e. is raised suddenly though very 

 slightly above the front margin of segment four, and the front end of this parallel 

 dorsal line is at an angle, and a sharpish angle, with the front slope of the thorax ; 

 the shoulder, too, is distinctly angled, the point where the lateral line of the head 

 and segment two meet that of the wings — the front margins of segments nine and 

 ten in the dorsal line — when looked at sideways show a minute peak overhanging 

 the hinder margins of segments eight and nine ; the cremaster is distinctly bifid at 

 the extremity, and has some shiny, very short, black suspensory hooks dorsally as 

 well as at the extremity. There is a dorsal rugose black tip to the snout terminating 

 the head, which snout is cylindrical in its apical half ; there is no black line round 

 the eyes, and there is a dark green-blue dorsal line, which is yellow on the thorax, 

 as well as the supra-spiracular yellow line. Length 34 mm." (T. R. Bell and de 

 Niceville, Butt, of Kanara, J. Bombay N. H. Soc. 1900, 251.) 



Bug. — " Single, on leaf. Pale yellowish-white, sharply pointed at each end, and 

 attached by one point to the leaf. Larva, when emerged from the egg, is pale 

 gixen, the head larger than any succeeding segment." (Capt. A. M. Lang, 

 TJmbaila, MS. Notes, Sept. 2nd, 1861.) 



Food-plants. — " We have found the larva of Grocale on several species of 

 Cassia, all arboreal, such as G. fistula and Sumatrana, but never on the humble and 

 ill-smelling G. occidentaUs, the food-plant of G. Pyranthe. AVe have found it 

 abundantly in the Kanara District of Bombay, at the end of the rainy season, and 

 also in April." (J. Davidson and E. H. Aitken, I.e. 1890, 360.) 



DisTBiBUTiON, Habits, &c. — In the North-Western Himalaya Capt. A. M. Lang 

 " found the butterfly frequenting the Gassia fistula, which is indigenous to the lower 

 slopes of the outer ranges, 2,000 to 5,000 feet elevation, but an introduced plant in 

 gardens in the plains of N. India" (Ent. Mo. Mag. 1864, 103). Mr. P. W. 

 Mackinnon records G. Gascale and Gatilla, as " occurring commonly in Masuri, 

 N.W. Himalaya, from July to Octobei*, and in Dehra Dun throughout the warmer 

 months of the year" (J. Bombay N. H. Soc. 1898, 586). Major J. W. Yerbury 

 obtained it in N.W. India, at " Hassan Abdal, 1,600 feet above sea level, in 

 June ; at Chittar, between Tret and Barracoo, Murree road, 2,500 to 5,000 feet, in 

 October; and at Hurripur, in October" (Ann. Nat. Hist. 1888, 202). Mr. W. 

 Doherty obtained it at " Bagheswar, Rauibagh, Jakula Kali Valley, from 1,000 to 

 6,000 feet, in Kumaon " (J. As. Soc. Bengal, 1886, 135).
