This is an abundant species, and its habits have been variously described. Thus 

 Mr. de Niceville found it in Sikkim as particularly fond of imbibing moisture from damp spots 

 on the ground, and as returning to the same place, however often disturbed,* and the first part 

 of this observation coincides with the writer's experience in Province Wellesley. In the 

 N.W. Himalaya Capt. Lang described it as "seen hut in few places, and never more than one 

 at a time. It is hold and rapid in flight, and not easily captured." f In the same habitat, 

 Mr. Hocking found it flying "round and round the tops of trees." J At Masuri, Capt, Huttou 

 records it as lf one of the commonest, but not the least beautiful, of our butterflies; it appears 

 early in May, and is found till the end of the rains in September, It usually frequents the 

 tops of oak trees, where it flies about with a jumping or jerking flight, and is somewhat 

 difficult to capture from its quickness, and the height at which it keeps." §
