 form one connected group. They range from 3,000 feet to 8,000 feet being 

 best represented between 5,000 feet and 7,000 feet. L. rohria and its 

 western form L. nilgiriensis and L. confusa come down as low as 500 feet, and 

 are, in some localities, common in the foot hills. They form a sort of 

 connecting link with the previous group, and are the only exceptions to 

 the general rule. 



Finally, there are the groups separated by Westwood and Butler under 

 the genera Zophoessa and Neope and including —

L. bhadra. Moore. 



L. pulaha. Moore. 



L. yama. Moore. 

 Speaking generally, this group belongs to the higher ranges from 5,000 feet 

 to 10,000 feet. I have taken a pulaha (local form pulahoides) at 3,500 feet in 

 the Naga hills ; goalpara has been recorded from ' Sibsagar, ' but this is a 

 wide term and, from the usual distribution of the species, I am inclined to 

 think the specimen must have come from the higher hill ranges on the 

 borders of the Sibsagar district ; sura is recorded from a low elevation in 

 Tenasserim and bhadra probably goes down to 2,000 feet in the Khasi hill 

 and Burma. The rest appear absolutely limited to altitudes above 5,000 

 feet.

I cannot help thinking that the record of the ' scylla ' variety of this 

 species from Sylhet by Butler is a mistake. Sylhet is a very low-lying 

 district intersected by rivers and dotted with extensive swamps or 'bheels, ' 

 absolutely the last place from which one would expect an Auiocera, a genus 

 essentially of the higher mountain ranges. If the specimens on which 

 the record is based came from anywhere outside the Himalayas, they 

 must have been from the higher ranges of the Khasi, North Cachar or 

 Naga Hills country on the northern and eastern confines of the Sylhet 

 district,
