DisrRIBUTION WITHIN OUR ArgA.—This insect has a wide range. We possess it 
from Sikkim; specimens are also in Mr. W. Rothschild’s collection from Sikkim, 
taken by the late Otto Moller in July and October, Mr. G. C, Dudgeon obtained it 
at Buxain Bhotan. Mr. L. de Nicéville (Sikkim Gazetteer, 1894, 147) says “ this is 
the commonest species of Charaxes in Sikkim, and found from April to December, 
from 6000 feet to the level of the Terai.” It is also found in Assam, Silhet, 
Cachar. Mr. Wood-Mason (J. As. Soc. Beng. 1886, 363) obtained males in the 
forests around Silcuri, in Cachar, in June and August. Specimens from the Khasia 
Hills are in Colonel Swinhoe’s and Mr. P. Crowley’s collections. Mr. J. L. Sherwill 
took it in the Naga Hills. Specimens from the Lushai Hills are also in Mr. Crow- 
ley’s collection. Lieut. EH. Y. Watson took it during the recent Chin-Lushai Expedi- 
tion, in the Chin Hills at from 1000 to 2000 feet elevation in May, and at Tilin Yaw 
in November and February (Journ. Bombay N. H. 8. 1891, 41). It also occurs at 
Toungoo, in Upper Tenasserim; Mr, Wood-Mason took it at Moolai, 3000 to 6000 
feet, in Tenasserim. According to Dr. N. Manders (Tr. Ent. Soc. 1890, 526), “ It 
oecurs commonly all the year round throughout the Shan Hills and Karenni.” 
Specimens from the Karen Hills are in Mr. P. Crowley’s collection. From Southern 
India, we possess it from the Nilgiris, taken by Mr. G. F. Hampson, “ commonly at 
3000 to 4000 feet elevation’ (J. As. Soc. Beng. 1888, 355), and from Kanara, taken 
by the late 8. N. Ward; Mr. E. H. Aitken says it “is common enough on the 
[Western] Ghats, chiefly, I think, from December to March” (J. Bombay N. H. 8. 
1886, 133). The late Dr. Leith obtaimed it on Matheran, and Col. Swinhoe also 
took it on Matheran in December (P. Z. 8. 1885, 180); also from Kathlekan, in 
Mysore, taken by Lieut. E. Y. Watson, in November. In Ceylon it is “taken at 
Colombo and Kandy; common” (Wade), and according to Mr. F. M. Mackwood’s 
“ Notes,” it is plentiful about Kandy and similar elevations in the island, 
DIsTRIBUTION OUTSIDE ouR ArEA.—Mr. Distant (Rhop. Malay. p. 106) records it 
from the Malay Peninsula. It has been taken at Chentaboon, in Siam (P. Z. §S. 
1874, 106). Mr. Snellen (Lep. Mid. Sumatra, 16) records it from Sumatra. 
From Borneo we possess a male taken at Sarawak, a female taken at Hong 
Kong, and another female was in the late Mr. J. J. Weir’s collection, both of which 
were taken by the late Bishop of Hong Kong. Mr. J. J. Walker, R.N., writes me 
that he has also observed it in Hong Kong.
