Shillong. Apparently rare; only thirteen examples 
received. 
235. Cyaniris limbatus (Moore), P. Z.8., 1879, p. 139. 
Recorded from Shillong by de Nicéville, Butt. of India, 
ili., p. 109; not received by me. I received all the 
Lycenide collected by Mr. Hamilton for two years and 
more, and cannot but think there is some mistake in 
this record ; in a carefully kept record of many years I 
find I have never obtained this species, except from 
Ceylon and the South of India. 
Genus ZizErA, Moore. 
236. Zizera maha (Kollar), Hug. Kasch., iv. (2), p. 622 
(1848). 
At p. 116, Butt. of India, vol. iii., de Nicéville states 
that Z. ossa, Swinh., P. Z.8., 1885, p. 182, pl. 9, f. 11 
3, 12 2, described from Bombay, is evidently the dry 
season form of Z. maha. Surely this is jumping to a 
wonderful conclusion ; that it is a southern or local form 
of Z. maha is probably true, but to make it a dry season 
form of maha you must first prove that maha is to be 
found in Bombay. I collected in Bombay for nearly 
twenty years,—my written record runs back for fifteen 
years,—yet I never took maha in Bombay ; but ossa is a 
common form, of which I have taken great numbers in 
every month from September to June in Poona and 
Bombay; Mahableshwur, 5000 ft. (where you might 
expect to find maha, if it existed in the South), in May ; 
Ahmednagar, September; and have received it from the 
Anamalli and Nilgiri Hills; the tint of colour is quite 
different.
