On both occasions, both going to and returning from Darjiling, 

 I had no sunshine when traversing this piece of road, which accounts for 

 the small number of Butterflies observed. 



74. Lethe sidonis, Hewitson. 



Males excessively common all along the road from about 5 miles above 

 Kurseong to Darjiling. I only took one female, it hardly differs from 

 the opposite sex.
