being interiorly clouded \vith blackish. It most nearly resem- 

 bles the variation figured in the second plate accompanying 

 my paper in the Linnean Society's 'Transact ioris (vol. xxvi. 

 tab. 43, f. 2), and, like that example, wants the apical spot of 

 the fore-Avings ; but (as far as 1 can make out in its very 

 damaged state) it has more resemblance to Hi2:)pocoo7i in the 

 wider white space of the hind-wings. — Hab. King William's 

 Town, Cape Colony. 



e. Two specimens near the simple variation of ordinary 9 > but having 



all the white spots of the fore-wing considerably enlarged, as well 

 as the ochreous-yellow mark on inner margin before middle ; while 

 the ochreous-yellow band of the hind-wing is increased to a patch 

 as large as in the Hi2^pocoo7i-\\kQ Second Form. — Hab. Delagoa 

 Bay {Mrs. Moiiteiro). 



f. An example like ordinary $ in all respects, except that in fore-wing 



it has a continuous white subapical bar as in Second Form, and 

 that in hind-wing the ochre-yellow band (though scarcely extending 

 beyond middle) reaches almost to base itself. — Ilab. King "Wil- 

 liam's Town {J. H. Bowlder). 



g. An individual like the last (/") in the suba[)ical bar, but differing in 



that there is a good-sized very pale-yellow inner-marginal marking 

 on fore-wing, and that the large discal spot is white, and diffusedly 

 extended downward so as almost to meet it. — Hab. Delagoa Bay 

 {Mrs. Monteiro).

Westw.).

This specimen and another received in 1884 have the ordinary 

 markings of the forms which they link, excepting that the patch 

 of the hind-wings, though not obscured at the base, is de- 

 cidedly narrower. All the markings are tinged with faint, 

 dull, ochreous-yellow. — Hab. St. Lucia Bay (the late Colonel 

 H. Tower), and Delagoa Bay {Mrs. Monteiro).

This example has the subapical bar of the fove-wings consider- 

 ably broader than usual, and yellowish brick-red instead of 

 white. The field of red common to both wings differs from 

 that ordinarily presented in being darker (inclining to ferru- 

 ginous) and smaller, in the fore-wings not reaching to the 

 median nervure, and clouded with fuscous between that 

 nervure and the submedian nervure. — Hab. Bathurst, Cape 

 Colony {3Iiss M. Barber). 



Larva. — " ist Stage. Black, with white filamentous tubercles on 

 second segment and anal segment. 



" 2d Stage. Two pairs of filamentous tubercules on same segments, 

 the first and last pair longest ; a white transverse lunular band, con- 

 nected with the head laterally, across sixth and seventh segments. 

 Laterally a broad white band above spiracles. Last two segments 

 whitish.
