NOTES ON LEPIDOFTERA FROM " GOOLMURG," IN CxiSHMERE. 
BY CAPT. A. M. LANG. 
Goolmurg is a, lai'ge, open, flowery glade at an altitude of 9000-ft. 
above sea level, on the north-eastern slopes of the spurs of the " Pir 
Puujal " range of mountains which shut in and overlook the " Vale of 
Cashmere " from the south. 
It is surrounded hy thick forests of Plnus excelsa, Picea Wehhiana, 
Povia indica, Acer, Taxus, &c. 
During the months of July and August, 1867, Dr. T. C. Jerdon 
was encamped at Groolmurg, and took, as characteristic specimens of 
the Diurnal Lepidoptera frequenting the place, the following species : 
Papilio Machaon. C(mimon throughout the north-western Himalaya. 
GoJSEPTEBTX NiPALEN&is. This specics has a range along the whole 
extent of the Himalaya, from Bhootan to Cashmere. 
PiEBis Nabellica. This insect occurs but sparingly in Kunawur, 
where it has been taken by me at altitudes of about 9000 or 10,000 
feet in the Wungur, Kazhang, and Buspa valleys. It has a slow, 
heavy flight, and is fond of pitching on the late umbelliferous 
plants, which rise above the dense masses of flowers carpeting the 
glades in these wooded valleys during the rainy months of July 
and August. The specimens from Cashmere appear to be lighter 
in colour than those from Kunawur. 
PiEKis Daplidice. Of this wide-spread species, specimens occur in 
Dr. Jerdon's colleijtion, though taken in the valley of Cashmere, 
and not at Groolmirg. These are (contrary to their congener, 
Nabellica) darker than the individuals of this species taken in the 
village fields of Spiti and Tibet to the eastward. 
PiEBis Glicieia. This is abundant throughout the Himalayas, and 
does nob appear to vary.
