The six J s sent by Mr. Hutchinson are like those noted from Kraai River 

 (p. 216, 7iote), but two of them have the orange stripe of the hind-wings 

 broader • the four ? s accompanying them are large, and with the orange bands 

 extremely broad, and in the fore-wing (as in the Grahamstown examples) pro- 

 longed almost to the base by the broad inner marginal orano-e border. 



Mr. Hutchinson wrote (January 1888) that he took tliis butterfly nume- 

 rously at Ulundi — one pair being in copula — in the early part of January ; tlie 

 $ s were much more plentiful than the ? s, and kept closely to the rocks which 

 tlie species frequents, but the $ s were more wandering, and flew longer with- 

 out settling. He also found the pupse, which he mentions as occurring exactly 

 as described in the text.

In October 1887 (12th to 15th) I had the pleasure of observing this inte- 

 resting species in life, at the upper end of Michell's Pass, close to the villaf^e 

 of Ceres. This station lies very much lower than that of the original discovery 

 of the insect, being only about 1700 feet above the sea ; and the appearance of 

 the butterfly so much earlier in the season at the new locality is probably trace- 

 able to the warmer climate there. The eight ^ s that I captured expanded 

 from I in. 4^ lin. to i in. 6| lin. ; they Avere fresh from the chrysalis, and the 

 disco-cellular ochreous-yellow markings of the fore-wing in them are more 

 apparent than described in the text, the inner marking more or less faintly 

 extending to the base, and an additional similar elongate diffused mark appear- 

 ing below the median nervure. The spots of the discal series vary as to size 

 and distinctness, and in five examples the three subapical spots in the fore-wine 

 are entirely obsolete. 



I found the habits of this butterfly to agree with Mr. Peringuey's account • 

 it sat very close on the sides or top of rocks and stones, and settled again very 

 speedily after being disturbed. It was rather more wary than I expected 

 several times evading the sweep of the net, and in this way reminded me of 

 some of the species of Zeritis. When at rest it is scarcely discernible, owinf^ 

 to the very great resemblance of the under-side colouring to that of the rock 

 surfaces. I saw no example of the ? , which probably makes her first appear- 

 ance a little later than the (J .
