_Local variation of Form._--The differences of form are equally clear.
Papilio Pammon everywhere on the continent is tailed in both sexes. In
Java, Sumatra, and Borneo, the closely allied P. Theseus has a very

female retains it, but in a narrower and less spatulate form. A little
further, in Gilolo, P. Nicanor has completely lost the tail in both
sexes.

Papilio Agamemnon exhibits a somewhat similar series of changes. In
India it is always tailed; in the greater part of the archipelago it h
