A curious habit of this fine butterfly i.s noticed by Mr. Bowker. A 

 number of specimens collect together at the end of autumn under rocks 

 or in holes of dry banks, as many as 29 individuals havinij^ been taken 

 at once by placing a net over the hole and disturbing ihera. This 

 scarcely seems to bo hibernation, as Mr. Bowker has not noticed the 

 insect till the summer is well advanced, Amestris seldom frequents 

 flowers, i^referring rocky spots.

" Habits like those of Amestris, but more solitary. Sometimes con- 

 gregates under rocks ; often met with in small rocky caverns in deep 

 forest kloofs. Very rare in 1862 ; numerous in 1863, settling on flowers 

 and occurring from January to August." — J. H. B.

 was numerous in Julj'i 1863. Rare 30 miles inland." — J. H. B.

I learn from Mr. Hewilson that this species was previously di scribed 

 by Dr. Fclder under the name of Precis Katcilica. In this case, it 

 should stand in my arrangement as Junonia Natalica, Felder, sp, 



I saw two si)ecuncn3 of this Butterfly in the Botanic Garden at 

 D'Urban, P.irtlNatal, on the 23rd of June,' 1865. Its fli^-ht is quite that 

 of a Vanessa, hurried and rather irregular, interrupted by frequent 

 settling on the gi-ound.
