LEPIDOPTERA. 385 



(Mangifera Ingas ?) . December and January. Abundant. Solitary 

 in March."— (Horsfield, MS.) 



Discovered in Assam by Capt. Jenkins, where it "lives on the 

 Soon tree, but seems to be not much used." 

 . " Eggs whitish-yellow ; larva and pupa unknown [to Dr. Heifer] ; 

 cocoon yellow, in a network, transparent, so that the chrysalis in the 

 inside is to be seen, of a remarkable silky lustre." — (Dr. Heifer, 

 J. A. S. Beng. (1837), p. 45.) 



Transformations also observed by Mrs. Hamilton, and figured 

 among her original drawings, now in the possession of the Entomo- 

 logical Society of London. 



This interesting species of silkworm moth has been lately found 

 and reared in Moulmein by Capt. J. C. Haughton, who states that 

 he " only observed it upon the Cashew-nut tree (Anacardium ori- 

 entale), which, though exotic, has thoroughly taken root both at 

 Tavoy and at Moulmein, and is now to be found in every native 

 garden." — (Journal of the Agri-Horticultural Society of India, 

 vol. X. pt. I. p. 101, 1858.)
