shrub near the plantation was covered with the pupa), and after the butterflies had 
emerged, the whole place looked as if there was a heavy snow-storm in progress, the 
air being full of large flakes of snow. I took there many hundreds of both sexes, 
but amongst them was not a single Gat Ilia” . . . “ Oatilla is found only in the 
forest, the males on forest roads on wet spots together with Lycxnidse and 
Papilioninx , but they form the larger number of the congregations, and often occur 
in such crowds that cart-horses get frightened on approaching one of these white 
spots on the road, which all at once flutters up into the air with an audible sound. 
If driven away from these favourite spots, they fly rapidly in Indian file up and 
down the forest roads, and fall in again on the same spot when the danger is passed. 
Cedilla appears never to be a destructive insect as is Crocale at times ” (J. As. Soc. 
Bengal, 1895, 490). We possess specimens of Crocale from Java, Borneo, and 
Formosa. It is also recorded from the Philippines, by Dr. Semper; from Kukiang, 
0. China, by Mr. J. H. Leech, and Hong Kong, by Commander J. Walker.
