1881.] taken in Siklcim, October, 1880. 53 



settling on a flower it is very inconspicuous, the mottled hind-wing and the 

 apex of the fore- wing which is also much mottled and which alone is left 

 uncovered by the hind- wing, render it difficult to see on account of its close 

 resemblance to a dead leaf. 



58. Ixias evippe, Drury. 



Very common near Chunabatti. This species has a very rapid, strong 

 flight, but continually settles. 



59. ? Ornithoptera pompeus, Cramer. 



Three specimens seen, sailing high amongst the trees. 



60. Pupillo helenus, Linnaeus. 

 Not uncommon in the lower hills. 



61. JPapilio polytes, Linnaeus. 

 One or two seen in the Terai. 



62. Papilio androgens, Cramer. 



A female, second form, taken just above the Terai, where the road 

 commences to ascend the hills. 



63. Papilio aristolocliice, Fabricius. 



I took several battered specimens in the Terai. 



64. Papilio pMloxenus, Westwood. 



Not uncommon near Chunabatti. I took several specimens, but all 

 except one, a female with an expanse of 59 inches, were much broken. It 

 sails about in the open, often high up amongst the trees, and apparently quite 

 safe from the attack of birds, its strong scent, perceptible a couple of yards 

 off even now, three months after it was caught, being probably most dis- 

 tasteful to insectivorous birds.
