Cachar, ISTaga Hills and Sibsagar ; Mr. J. L. Slierwill has taken the female form Isa 

 at Jorehat, Assam, in June ; Shillong, also type of Ginnamomeiis taken in November 

 by Mr. J. P. Cock; and Upper Burma, taken by the Yunan Expedition. Mr. E. T. 

 Atkinson records it from the outer ranges of the Himalayas of the N.W. Pro- 

 vinces " (de Niceville, Butt. Ind. ii. 20). According to Mr. Elwes (Tr. Eat. Soc. 

 1888, 336) " the female forms Isa and Nyctelius, are both found in the Sikkim 

 valleys up to about 3000 feet, with the male, from April until the end of the year, 

 but are not abundant at any season." In the Sikkim Gazetteer, 1894, 132, Mr. de 

 Niceville says : " In Sikkim the males are common, the females rarer. It occurs in 

 the low valleys from March to November." 



"We possess males from Sikkim, from Burma taken in the Thoungyeen forests, 

 Tenasserim, by Capt. Bingham, and from the Karen Hills taken by Signor Leonardo 

 Fea, who also took it at Cheba in November. Of females we possess the form 1 

 (Isa) from Sikkim, /orm 2 also from Sikkim, and form 6 from Sikkim and Eajpore. 

 Specimens of the female (form 2) from Shillong are in Mr. P. Crowley's collection, 

 Cherra Punji and Sikkim in Col. C. Swinhoe's collection. Of the female (form 3, 

 Alcathoeoides), the typical specimen was taken in the Thoungyeen forests in Upper 

 Tenasserim, in April, by Capt. C. T. Bingham. Of the form 4, a specimen from 

 Cherra Punji is in Col. Swinhoe's collection. Of /orm 5 (Nyctelius) the type, from 

 Silhet, is in the British Museum collection. Specimens of this form, from Darjiling, 

 ■were in Mr. W. S. Atkinson's collection. Col. C. H. E. Adamson (List Butt. 

 Burm. p. 11) records it from " Arakan, Tenasserim and Bhamo, the males being very 

 common on the lower ranges of hills from August to December. One female only 

 seen and captured in Arakan, resembling E. Rhadamanthus." Burmese males, 

 taken by Col. Adamson, on the underside of the hindwings, have the broad pale area 

 of a dull pale testaceous colour, not yellow as in Sikkim specimens. A female, of the 

 form Isa, is recorded from Tavoy (J. A. S. Beng. 1887, 422). Lieut. D. Thomson 

 (J. Bombay N. H. Soc. 1890, 295), records its capture in the Chin-Lushai country 

 during the Expedition, from the Chittagong side, in the winter of 1889-90.
