Meetan, and a female from Tenasserim taken in April by Col. Bingham, is in the 
British Museum. Mr. W. Doherty found it not uncommon in E. Pegu during 
March and April. 44 A male in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, was obtained by 
Col. C. T. Bingham in the Mepley Valley, Upper Tenasserim, and one from the 
Donat Range, taken in January, is in Major Marshall’s collection ” (de Hiceville,
