shvub near the plantation was covered with the papas, and after the butterflies had 

 emerged, the whole place looked as if there was a heavy snow-storm in progress, the 

 air being full of large flakes of snow. I took there many hundreds of both sexes, 

 but amongst them was not a single Gatilla." ..." Gat ilia is found only in the 

 forest, the males on forest roads on wet spots together with Lycsenidse and 

 Papilioninse, but they form the larger number of the congregations, and often occur 

 in such crowds that cart-horses get frightened on approaching one of these white 

 spots on tlie road, which all at once flutters up into the air with an audible sound. 

 If driven away from these favourite spots, they fly rapidly in Indian file up and 

 down the forest roads, and fall in again on the same spot when the danger is passed. 

 Catilla appears never to be a destructive insect as is Crocale at times " (J. As. Soc. 

 Bengal, 1895, 490). We possess specimens of Crocale from Java, Borneo, and 

 Formosa. It is also recorded from the Philippines, by Dr. Semper; from Kukiang, 

 C. China, by Mr. J. H. Leech, and Hong Kong, by Commander J. "Walker.
