6. Danais genutia, Cram. Common everywhere, up to Khafci, 

 7,000 feet. 



7. EuPLCEA MIDAMUS, Linn. = linncjei, Moore. Kali valley to Dhar- 

 chula, Gori, and Sarju valleys, 2 — 4,000 feet, common. 



8. EuPLCEA COKE, Cram. Common as high up as Khati, 7,000 feet. 



Family ACR^ID^, Doubleday. 



9. Pareba vesta, Fabr. Common locally, 4 — 5,000 feet. Taken on 

 the Dhoaj, 6,500 feet. 



Family SATYRID^, Swainson. 



10. Mtcalesis (Gareris) sanatana, Moore. The non-ocellate dry- 

 season form, Askot, 5,000 feet, October. The ocellate, wet-season form 

 (gojpa, Felder), Ramgarh and Takula, Western Kumaon, 5,500 — 6,000 

 feet, August, rare. 



11. Mtcalesis (Calysisme) perseus, Fabr.' The dry-season form, 

 first seen on the Lower Gori, 2,50j feet, September 29th ; also in the 

 Kali valley and the Bhabar, 1 — 3,000 feet. The wet-season form 

 {hlasius, Fabr.) common in the same localities, Aug. — Sept. 



12. Mtcalesis (Calysisme) mineus, Linn. Wet-season form, com- 

 moner than the preceding species in all the valleys up to 5,000 feet, 

 Aug. — Sept. The dry-season form (visala, Moore) first seen on the 

 Lower Sarju, about September 23rd. Caterpillar taken by me at 10 p. M. 

 in a meadow at Sonakala, Southern Orissa. It is fusiform, brownish- 

 green, tapering greatly at both ends. Head rather large, finely pubes- 

 cent, dark fuscous marbled with paler, a smooth plate in the middle 

 of the forehead, two short, rough triangular horns. Neck greatly con- 

 stricted. Body rough and prickly rather than pubescent, finely wrinkled 

 transversely, six wrinkles to each segment, the second twice as broad as 

 the others. A faint darker dorsal line chiefly visible posteriorly, a lateral 

 line of oblique dark streaks, one to each segment. Last segment pro- 

 longed and ending in two rough, triangular, slightly divergent horns. 

 It has the habit of resting for hours with its chin strongly retracted, and 

 its horns projecting forwards. The fourth eye from above is very much 

 larger than the others, and the head with its short, ear-like horns looks 

 very much like a cat's. The larva of Melatbitis has on the contrary the 

 horns long and slender, and the eyes subequal. Before undergoing its 

 metamorphosis, the larva of mineus became in colour a clear transparent 

 green (like the normal colour of that of Melanitis), unmarked except by 

 the black dots of the spiracles. 



Chrysalis green, smooth, its envelope transparent, shorter and 

 thicker than the chrysalis of Melanitis, strongly constricted between
