Hills, E. Pegu, and was taken on the body of a dead Python. It is very fragrant in 
both sexes ” (P. Z, S. 1891, 256). Mr. T. A. Hauxwell obtained it at Tounghou, 
Upper Tenasserim, and notes that it flies low, and settles low down on the trunks 
of trees, with closed wings, only two or three feet from the ground. Once frightened 
it never returns to the same spot” (L. de Uiceville, J. Bombay U. H. 1899).

downwards” (id. J. A. S. Bengal, 1895, 439).
