 the " Nilgiris, at 2,000 to 7,000 feet elevation, and two specimens of the form 

 Tliermochisa, in February, at 3,500 feet" (J. As. Soc. Beng. 1888, 364). Col. C. 

 Swiuhoe took his specimens of Thermodusa on " Matheran Hill, Bombay, in 

 November and December" (P. Z. S. 1885, 146). We possess specimens from 

 Mathei-an taken by Dr. A. Leith. Mr. H. S. Ferguson records it as " common in 

 the low country of Travancore, and up to 4,000 feet in the Hills on the South ; 

 common also on the high range" (J. Bombay N. H. Soc. 1891, 446).
