Cingalese, Leyna. 



Distribution — Sikkim Himalayas, Midnapore and through Cen- 

 tral and Southern India and Ceylon, especially in forest country; 

 it does not appear to be found in the low country round Madras. 



The specimens lettered "a," " g" and "h" in the list below 

 from Sikkim and Travancore respectively, differ considerably from 

 the rest of the specimens, and perhaps might be considered to form 

 a distinct variety ; the dorsal stripes which are particularly conspi- 

 cuous in all the other specimens in these abovementioned ones are 

 reduced to insignificance.
