Baker gives the southern range of this race as Victoria Point ; 

 but examples from the west coast as far south as Junk Seylon are 

 more like to it than to the southern race and should be placed with it.

The specimens referred to above indubitably belong to the 

 southern form whose northern limit is, therefore, between Lat. 8° and 

 9o N., which appears to be the faunal boundary for many races.
