DisTraBDTiON AND Habits. — In the N.W. Himalayas, Capt. T. Hutton says this 

 is " one of the commonest butterflies at Masuri. It appears early in May, and is 

 found till the end of the rains in September. It usually frequents the tops of 

 Oak trees, where it flits about with a jumping or jerking flight, and is somewhat 

 difficult to capture, from its quickness, and the height at which it keeps " (Tr. Ent. 

 Soc. 1847, 51). Capt. A. M. Lang states that it is "seen but in few places in the 

 N.W. Himalayas, and never more than one at a time. It is bold and rajDid in flight, 

 and not easily captured " (Ent. Mo. Mag. 1864, 101). Mr. P. W. Mackinnon records 

 it as "very common at Masuri in the spiking, summer, and beginning of the rainy 

 season, and in the Dun in March and August. The larva, in Masuri, feeds on the 

 leaves of Machilus odoratissima, N.O. Lanrinefe. It pupates in June, and the imago 

 emerges tlie following spi'ing " (Journ. Bombay N. H. Soc. 1898, 595). Mr. W. 

 Doherty obtained it at Sarju, Ramganga, Gori and Kali Valleys, 2,000 to 5,000 feet 

 elevation, in Kumaon " (J. As. Soc. Beng. 1886, 13G). Mr. J. H. Hocking took it 

 in the " Kaugra Hills. It flies round and round the tops of trees" (P. Z. S. 1882, 

 257). We have specimens from Nepal, taken by Gren. Gr. Eamsay. Mr. H. J. Blwes 

 records it as " common in Sil<kim at low elevations, and occurs up to 7,000 feet 

 between April and October. It is a very strong flyer, and only caught when settled 

 on wet places in the sun" (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 434). Mr. L. de Niceville also says 

 it is " common in Sikkim throughout the warm months, from 1,000 to 7,000 feet 

 elevation" (Sikkim Gaz. 1894, 174). Col. C. Swiuhoe records it from the Khasia 

 Hills (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1893, 314). Col. C. H. E. Adamson says it is found " through- 

 out Burma; males being very common, the female very rare" (List, 1897,49). 

 Lieut. E. y. Watson took it at " Beeling, Upper Tenasserim ; and at Choungkwa, 

 Chin Lushai Hills, in May. It was also common at the foot of the Chin Hills from 

 March to May " (J. Bombay N. H. S. 1888, p. 26; id 1891, 54; id. 1897, 672). 

 Signor L. Fea took it in the Khareu Hills. Dr. N. Manders found it " abundant in 

 the Shan States; commonest at elevations of 3,000 feet" (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1890, 536). 

 Mr. H. Grose-Smith has examples from the Andamans.
