Captain Mortimer J. Slater, in his MS. Notes, p. 144, informs us 

 that " Charaxes Bernardus flies along about four feet from the 

 ground, sometimes rising to ten feet or so; and in this manner 

 traverses the open ground at a fast flight, seldom settling or pausing ; 

 and is consequently very difiicult to capture, much less so in perfect 

 condition."

 Cabinet Orient. Ent. t. 21, f. 1, 2, from Ceylon, but differs in the 

 male in having the black exterior border of the fore-wing much 

 narrower, it not extending to the middle of the posterior margin, as 

 in that species, but is confined to the angle : on the Mnd-iving, the 

 apical patch is also smaller, and continued in a series of six white 

 centred spots to anal angle ; a small blackish spot at extremity of 

 the discoidal-cell. Under-side glossy greenish buffy-brown. Female

 round yellowish spot near the apex ; a patch of black at extremity 

 of discoidal-cell, and narrow zigzag line bordering the black band : 

 hind-ioing with the central upper portion of disc yellowish ; sub- 

 marginal row of spots clearly defined, and all centred with clear 

 ■white. Under-side more variegated than the male, and much paler.
