 Pergusson and Bourdillon, it is very common in March and fairly common in April " 

 (Butt. Ind. i. 53). Dr. F. Day notes that it is " not rare in Coonoor, and is common

 " almost as common as L. clirysi'p]}us.'^ Mr. Eothney found it " very common at 

 Barrackpur from March to October " (Ent. Mo. Mag. 1882, p. 33). In Cachar, Mr. 

 J. Wood-Mason (J. A. S. Beng. 1887, 345) says it " is a common species, but less

 weather on the Moulayet Hills up to 5000 feet" (P. Z. S. 1878,822); in Lower 

 Tenasserim specimens were taken at Tavoy (J. A. S. Beng. 1887, 415) ; and Dr. J.
