in his collection. It appeared from the latter that three of the four examples were 

 captured at ' Chue Spring,' and the fourth at 'Little Telip.' Burchell gives the 

 latitude and longitude of the first of these localities, and I am thus able to determine 

 its position on recent maps as about Honing Vley, in British Bechuanaland. 

 Specimens from Motito, in the same tract of country, were sent to me in 18GG. 

 Colonel Bowker took a good many specimens on the Vaal River, Griqualand West, 

 and also sent a single example captured at Hope Town, on the left bauk of the 

 Orange River. The latter is its most southern locality known to me ; and it certainly 

 appears to be most numerous in the tropical portion of its range, Mr. J. A. Bell 

 having brought no fewer than thirty-four specimens in his small collection formed in 

 Damara-land. Colonel Bowker describes the butterfly as a swift flyer ; he found it on 

 the wing at Klipdrift (Barkly) in March and April, and took the Hope Town 

 individual on May 1, 1S71. Mr. H. L. L. Feltham informs me that he occasionally 

 sees specimens in Kimberley, and took some in the month of December of the years 

 1884 and 18S5. Wallengren records (K. Vet. sv.— Akad Forh; 1875, p. 91) Mr. 

 Person's note that in Southern Transvaal the butterfly occurs in March and April." 



It should be noted that, although l)r. Butler considers 7'. duclssa Dognin to be 

 a synonym of the present species, Mr. Guy Marshall believes it to be quite distinct, as 

 will be seen by the following remarks : " Founded on a single specimen from 

 Zanguebar, apparently the only one recorded. Judging by the description, this 

 must be a very distinct species. — Breadth 55 mm. Upperside white ; apical third 

 of fore-wings orange-red, bordered exteriorly with brick-brown, the latter colour 

 extending to inner angle. Underside of hind-wings yellowish, with reddish striola?, 

 and traversed on disc by a straight, well-defined, reddish-yellow ray. The extension 

 of the hind-marginal border in fore-wing is noticeable. The description comes nearer 

 to the 'dry-season' females of T. pJdegi/as ( = d//x(oni), Butl., than anything else, but 

 the complete absence of any black markings along the inner edge of the apical patch 

 would at once distinguish it." (P. Z. S. 1897, p. 21.)
