in Busahir, at about 10,000 feet elevation, in August." Col. A. M. Lang records it 

 from the Simla District (P. Z. S. 1865, 494) as occurring " in wooded glen at 6000 

 to 6700 feet elevation, its flight being high and soaring." Mr. De Niceville (Butt. 

 Ind. i. 41), "who has carefully explored the Hills about Simla, only found this 

 species on the wing once, in a wooded glen near Theog, on the Hindustan and Thibet 

 road ; and though it is said actually to swarm in the Simla Hills in some years, it has 

 not done so to his knowledge since 1876." According to Mr. A. Gr. Young (Butt. 

 Ind. i. 41), "it is not uncommon in Kulu, where it has four broods, the first brood 

 appearing in April at the lower alfitudes, the second brood appears in June at about 

 6000 feet elevation, a third brood in August and the first week in September, and 

 the fourth, which is much the smallest in numbers, appears late in October." 

 In the Kangra Valley, the Rev. J. H. Hocking took it in March and July (P. Z. S. 

 1882, 235). In Kumaon, Mr. E. T. Atkinson (Butt. Ind. i. 34) says "it is common 

 about Naini Tal and Almora from September to November ; " ard Mr. "W. 

 Doherty (J. A. S. Beng. 1886, 113) obtained it in the Pindari, Gori, Sarpu, and 

 Kali Valleys, 3000 to 6000 feet elevation." The type specimen figured by G-ray is 

 recorded from Nepal. In Sikkim, according to Mi'. J. H. Bhves (Tr. Bat. Soc. 

 1888, 299) it " occurs from the lowest valleys up to 8 — 9000 feet, but is most 

 abundant at 2 — 3000 feet, between March and December." In the Runjit Valley, 

 1200 to 3500 feet, it has been taken in June. It is also recorded from Bhotau, 

 and occurs in Assam. "In the Khasia Hills, it is found in the autumn" (Butt. 

 Ind. i. 43). Mr. J. L. Sherwill obtained it in the Naga Hills. In Burma, " it is 

 common in tlie billy districts during the cold weather " (Butt. Ind. i. 43). Mr. 

 Limborg (P. Z. S. 1878, 822) obtained it in " Upper Tenasserim at 4500 feet." It 

 has been taken at Tavoy in Lower Tenasserim (J. A. S. Beng. 1887, 415), and Capt. 

 C. H. E. Adamson remarks (Proc. A. S. Beng. Nov. 1882) that " in Tenasserim it is 

 comparatively rare." " It has also been found in Western Yunan " (Butt. Ind. 

 i. 43) ; this latter locality, however, requires confirmation. 



Distribution outside Indian Aeea. — Mr. Distant (Rhop. Malayana, p. 408) 

 records tlie capture at Perak, in the Malay Peninsula, of specimens which he refers 

 to this species. The male Perak specimens which I have examined have the fore- 

 wing blacker, the upper discal spots much smaller, the two subapical elongated 

 streaks half the lengtb of those in typical G. tytia, and the submarginal spots 

 smaller ; the hindwing is much darker chestnut-red (as deep as in C. niphonka), all 

 the discal spots extremely small and short, the inner marginal streaks short ; and 

 there is no bifid line witbin the cell, which is always present on this wing in C. tytia. 



In Messrs. Goodman & Salvin's collection is a specimen labelled " Java," which 

 is identical with Himalayan examples. This latter locality, however, requires 

 confirmation.
