In the Central Provinces however and Rajputana the great depression of the closing months of the year more than counterbalanced the excess of the earlier months ; and in the Dakhan and the Peninsula generally a depression of temperature characterised the greater part of the year. [...] The above data show that both in the dry season and the rainy season the anomalous temperature of the air depends principally on the cloud and rainfall; the effect of both these being to lower the temperture ; in the case of the former by obscuring the sun in that of the latter by the evaporation which ensues and which reduces the temperature of both the ground and the air in contact with [...] For the density of the lowest stratum and therefore its static pressure was above the average in March and in most cases from June to the end of the year ; on the mean of the whole year the pressure of this stratum was in excess ; as might have been expected from the fact that its mean temperature was below the average ; but this excess was more than neutralised by the deficiency of pressu [...] 2.. Differs from the preceding in having the markings of the upper side in all the wings stracoloured instead of pure and dazzling white ; the basal two-thirds of the long streak in the interno-median space as also the streak in the sutural area of the anterior wings obsolete and the sumarginal short streaks at the apex of the same wings as prominent as those which succeed. [...] 1. Numerous specimens of both sexes of this well-known species are in the Museum from the Sikkim Hills the Naga Hills and the southern slopes of the Khasi Hills (Sylhet) The setose clothing at the base of the posterior wings between the median and submodian veins is scanty and cretaceous-whito liko the marings.
