$ Bright-ycUoiv ; fore-wing with a broad orange a^oical 2y(tich. Fore- 

 wmg : apical orange commencing on costa a little before extremity of 

 discoidal cell, and its outer edge occupying hind-margin as far as 



D'Urban, and that " during the winter months it is much smaller, and varies considerably 

 in the markings." Of the ten specimens he has sent me, five, ticketed "December 1887," 

 are large and broad-bordered, while the remaining five, ticketed "August 18S7," are small 

 and narrow-bordered — three of them strikingly so. 



^ Mr. Butler {Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1888, p. 96) has described these specimens of Mr, 

 Johnston's, with others from the same locality taken by the late Bishop Hannington, and at 

 Kilima-njaro by Mr. F. J. Jackson, under the name of Eronia dllatata ; but it seems per- 

 fectly clear to me that the paler yellow and broader border of the hind-wings on the under 

 side, given by Mr. Butler as " the only satisfactory distinguishing characters," are altogether 

 insufficient to warrant the separation of these examples from so highly variable a species as 

 E. CUodora has been shown to be.
