These are topo types of Lianseus' species, and will be useful in dealing 

 with the mainland forms, when occasion serves. 



'' Rarely seen and hard to obtain. They are reported round Kandy, but 1 

 never heard of them at any higher altitude. They were also reported in 

 lower Uva, and a Planter told me that two had been obtained in his Cocoa- 

 nut Estate in Lower Eastern Province. I only obtained them at Anuradha- 

 pura and round Kala Oya, on the borders of the N. C. and N. W. Pro- 

 vinces." — E.W.M.

 " Flying Foxes are plentiful in certain parts but most at Peradenia 

 Gardens, Kandy. There they swarm in thousands, absolutely covering the 

 trees they are feeding on and making an astonishing noise with their wings, 

 as, when frightened, they rise in black clouds in the air. They have locally 

 an edible value and sell for as much as 36 cents each." — E.W.M.
