 doubt on the point. 



I met witli the typical form very numerously at Port Natal, and with the 

 variety abundantly at I'lettenhcrg Bay and near Clrahamstown in the Cape 

 Colony. It keeps very closely to wooded spots, especially in country where 

 woods are sparse and stunted, and usually confined to small valleys or kloofs. 

 It is less swift on the wing than Achiiie, Cram., and settles more frequently, 

 never rising far from the ground. The largest and finest South-African speci- 

 mens are from Natal and the Eastern Transvaal, but I have taken at D'Urban 

 a ^ only i^ inches in expanse. This typical form of the species is not known 

 to me to occur to the westward of the Bashee River in Kafl'raria. It is remark- 

 able that both the typical form and the Variety A. occur at Delagoa Bay.
