DiSTKiBDTiON AND Habits. — Messrs. Davidson and Aitken record it as being 

 " found in many parts of the North Kanara District, Bombay, as far as Castle Rock, 

 during the rains, and also in March and April, but it is very local. It has a regular 

 beat, round and round, which it goes during the hottest hours of the day, with little 

 change ; so that by taking your stand where one has passed, you may make pretty 

 sure of meeting it again every half hour or so, that is, if you go on missing it. If 

 you catch it that ends the fun. Of course you get only males in this way. We do 

 ^lot know how females are to be got " (J. Bombay N. H. S. 1896, 581). Mr. T. R. 

 Bell has " observed the female laying eggs on Evodia Boxhurghiana, N. 0. Rutacete " 

 (de Niceville, J. As. Soc. Beng. 1900, 258). Mr. G. F. Hampson found it "not 

 common on the Nilgiris, from 3,000 to 7,000 feet" (J. As. Soc. Beng. 1888, 364). 

 We possess a specimen from Kowdas, Travancore, taken at 2,000 feet, by Mr. 

 Bourdillon.
