watered, and ifc was surprising the numbers of Butterflies that came to 

 their ' trap' and were caught. Judging from what I there saw, I am of 

 opinion that nearly all the Butterflies which are bought from the common 

 Lepcha boxes at Darjiling are caught in this way, and in the low valleys 

 averaging perhaps 2,000 feet elevation above the sea. Here Butterflies 

 in immense variety literally swarm, and in one fine day a man can easily 

 fill a box with large and showy species. 



For facility of reference I have repeated, with the addition of an 

 asterisk, the names of all the species given in my first paper which 

 we did not meet with on this trip, commencing the numbering of the 

 fresh species at 130. The latter were all taken between the elevations of 

 about 4,000 and 2,000 feet above the sea. The species that were met with 

 on this as well as on the first occasion have no number prefixed. 



LEPIDOPTEEA RHOPALOCERA.

In the neighbourhood of Calcutta D. limniace alone occurs, in Sikkim 

 it is replaced by D. septentrionis^ but at Simla and in the neighbouring 

 hills and in many other localities both species occur together. 



4. ^Danais {Salatura and Limnas) chrysippus^ Linnaeus. 



5. Danais {Salatura) geniitia^ Cramer. 

 This is the D. plexippus of my former list.
