524 PAPILIO^'ID.E. 
I have received a considerable number of specimens of this form from 
Chang-yang in Central China, and from various localities in Western China. 
No variation of any importance is exhibited. 
In his " Catalogue of the Lepidoptera of Sikkim " (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 
1888, p. 434) Mr. Elwes remarks:—" Moller gives the habitat of this species 
(P. cloanthus) as from 2-4000 feet, and its occurrence as from April tiU 
October, but I should consider it as rather a temperate than a tropical butterfly 
having only seen it at about 6000 feet. Capt. Lang says in the N.W. Hima- 
layas it occurs from 5-7000 feet, and Doherty found it in Kumaon from 
2-7000 feet. I saw it in Khasia at 6000 feet, flying on sunny days round 
the tops of trees with very rapid flight, and hard to catch."
