Mahableshwar in May. Major J. W. Yerbury notes that he took it on Matheran 
Hill in October. Mr. E. H. Aitken (Butt. India, 154) “took it at Khandalla in 
April.” The type specimen was taken on the Nilgiris. Mr. G. F. Sampson (J. A. S. 
Beng. 1888, 349) also obtained it on the Nilgiris, being common from 2000 to 
7000 feet. The late Dr. J. Sliortt sent me specimens from the Sheyaroy Hills ; and 
the late Dr. F. Day specimens from Coonoor. Mr. H. Ferguson (Butt. India, 154) 
“ took it on the Ashamboo Hills in Travancore, in May, and again in Trevandrum 
in July. ’ In Ceylon, Mr. Hutchison (Lep. Ceylon, i. 16) “ found it in the neigh¬ 
bourhood of coffee plantations South of Newera Eliya, at about 3000 feet elevation l 
appearing plentiful, except from January to March.” Capt. Wade also took it at 
Kandy and Dickoya. Mr. F. M. Mackwood (MS. Notes) remarks that it is “the 
most commonest of the group in Ceylon, being found everywhere above 3000 feet, 
and sometimes much lower, in shady places or in jungle, and all the year round.” 
Mr. E. E. Green obtained it at Pundaloya.
