  It 
  has 
  an 
  exploratory 
  flight 
  path 
  in 
  and 
  around 
  

   patches 
  of 
  brush 
  on 
  the 
  edges 
  of 
  mangrove 
  swamps. 
  It 
  is 
  difficult 
  to 
  

   approach 
  and 
  when 
  frightened 
  makes 
  off 
  with 
  a 
  direct 
  swift 
  flight, 
  so 
  

   that 
  it 
  is 
  hard 
  to 
  capture.

  Note. 
  — 
  Lord 
  Eothschild 
  had 
  but 
  one 
  damaged 
  sj)ecimen 
  from 
  

   Manus. 
  

  

  We 
  found 
  this 
  tiny 
  yellow 
  skipper 
  frequent 
  in 
  grasslands, 
  and 
  espe- 
  

   cially 
  in 
  brushy 
  coconut 
  groves. 
  The 
  flight 
  is 
  rapid, 
  but 
  it 
  flies 
  only 
  

   for 
  short 
  distances, 
  alighting 
  usually 
  on 
  a 
  blade 
  of 
  grass 
  and 
  opening 
  

   its 
  wings.
