I refer to tliis species a $ and a $ Pam'phila which I took at Natal, in 

 June and Auirust, 18<)5, respectively. The $ has smaller spots thuu 

 usual in forewing, the last beinp; obsolete above and ill-dt fined ou under- 

 side ; while the olivaceous tint of underside is very f;iint, and the spots of 

 hindwinc; minute. The ? has the first 3 spots of ./wrc'ic/;;// more con- 

 spicuous than usual ; while on the underside the yellow-olivaceous -is 

 wanting, being replaced by hoary- c/reij irrorations. The wiugs are blunt- 

 er and more rounded than in the Mauritian examples.

I captured a single specin.en of this curious Hesperian in the Botanic 

 Garden at D'Urban, ou the 23rd Jane, 1865. I could not detect any 

 noise emitted by ii in flight. It settled twice on the purple labiate 

 flowers of a weed common in the Garden, keeping its wings fully ex- 

 panded.

N. Ophion.—V. 213.— Hah. D'Urban, Port Natal. 

 " Sierra Leone " (Drury and Stoll). 



This species is common in the Botanic Garden at Natal, and seems to 

 prefer the vicinity of Mango trees. It is' very rapid in flight, the white 

 undersurface of hindwiugs being then conspicuous. It setiles constantly, 

 and very abruptly, on the under side 'of leaves, keeping the wings fully 

 expanded. Several of the $ specimens that 1 captured are fully as large 

 as Drurj's figures. 



Ismene Florestan. — P. 318. — Hah. Mauritius. 



I observed several specimens o^ Florestan in Mauritius. The insect 

 flies in a hurried, bustling fashion, more after the manner of a Noctua 

 than of a butterfly. The hindwiugs are partly expanded when at rest.
