Geapta C-album(?). Tliis Grapta, tliougli apparently common at 
Goolmurg, occurs but rarely in Kunawur, Avtere, however, I have 
taken it at several localities far apart, and of diverse altitudes and 
climates. Thus one very fine fresh specimen was taken on the 
bleak Hungrung Pass, at about 15,000 feet altitude ; while others 
were taken 200 miles away on the lower, well-wooded ranges of 
the Simla district. The species vai'ies considerably in the colouring 
of the under surface. 
Vanessa Y-ALBUir. This species appears to be new to the Indian 
Tauna : I have never taken it myself, or seen it in any collection 
made in this country. Two fine specimens were taken by Dr. Jer- 
don at Goolmurg. 
Vai^essa xa:s"thomelas. One specimen of this species appears in 
this series. It is also taken in the Simla district, where, however, 
it is not common. 
Vanessa CASHiiiEENsis. This insect abounds along the Avhole range 
of the Himalaya, and is as common in these mountains as the 
scarcely distinguishable V. urticce is in Europe.

AsGTiwis Jeedoni, sp. nov. This species is represented by only 
one individual (not in good condition) in Dr. Jerdon's seri'^ 
I have never myself taken it, or seen it in any other coUectic. 
It is a small Fritillary, allied to Semele, and belonging to the 
second section of the genus Argynnis, as defined in Westwood's 
" G-enera ;" the second subcostal nervule is thrown ofi" beyond the 
end of the cell. 
TJppEK-siDE — falvous, markings black. Fore-wing — base, and interior margin, below 
submedian nervure, dark fuscous ; two spots (fii'st circular, second lunular) 
within, and a streak closing, the cell ; a lai-ge spot below the origin of the first 
median nervule ; a ti-ansverse, curved, discal series of seven spots ; a suffused 
spot on costa at two-thirds fi-om the base ; a nearly straight, exterior, trans- 
verse series of seven spots ; a submai'ginal series of lunules ; and a very slender 
marginal line, which expands into an angle at the end of each nervule. Bind- 
wing — the basal half dark fuscous, with a sinuous exterior margin ; an exterior, 
ti-ansverse series of six spots ; a submarginal series of five lunules ; and a 
very slender marginal line expanding into an angle at end of each nervule. 
Under-side — Fore-wing pale fulvous ; mai-kiugs as above, with the exception of the
