Altliough this is such a widely distributed species, T did not find it unusually 

 abuudaut in the Malay Peninsula. In Ceylon Capt. Hutchison reports tliat it is found 

 "everywhere. Plains and hills up to 6000 feet, in forest and cultivated land. Have taken 

 them at almost all times. Flight strong, quick, sits in crowds on damp spots of roadside."* 

 Capt. de la Chaumette observed it frequenting the gardens at Saugor, and states that it is 

 " very fond of flying about the outside branches of the ' Babool ' (Acacia arahica) " ; and that 

 it is "on the wing from July to November."! Capt. A. M. Lang writes that "this species 

 frequents Cuthartocarpus fistula, an introduced i)lant in gardens of the North Indian plains, but 

 indigenous to the lower slopes of the Himalayan ranges, 2000 to 5000 feet." *
