the neighbourhood of Calcutta" (J. A. S. Beng. 1885, 50). Col. 0. Swinhoe has 

 received numerous specimens from the Khasias (Tr. Eufc. Soc. 1393, 308). Mr. H. J. 

 Elwes says it is " common in Sikkim, and extends from the Terai to at least 

 10,000 feet elevation " (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1888, 412). Mr. L. de Niceville also says it is 

 " common in Sikkim, and flies all the year round at low elevations, it being only 

 stragglers that extend their flight to so great an elevation as 10,000 feet" (Sikkim 

 Gaz. 1894, 167). In Burma, it was obtained by Col. C. II. E. Adamson. Capt. 

 E. y. "Watson obtained it " during the Chin-Lushai Exped. of 1889-90, at Pokoko 

 and Pauk in September, and at Tilin from November to May " (J. Bomb. N. H. S. 

 1891, 51), and also "in the Chin Hills the cZ?7/-season form occurred commonly in 

 April, and the rainy season form in May and June, these were noticed only up to 

 3,500 feet " {id. I.e. 1897, 669). Mr. 0. Limborg obtained it " on the road from 

 Moulmein to Meetan, at Hatseiga, and Paboga, Upper Tenasserim" (P. Z. S. 1878, 

 836). Dr. J. Anderson obtained it in Mergui, " in December and March" (J. Linn. 

 S. Z. 1886, 46).
