ill-defiued whitish lunules, between second median nervule and anal 

 angle ; an indistinct fuscous lunule at extremity of discoidal cell ; 

 inner-marginal fold grey, clouded with whitish ; tails black, with white 

 tips and edges. Cilia of fore-wing fuscous-grey mixed with white, 

 the latter predominating near anal angle; of hind-wing white, with 

 small black marks at extremities of nervules. Under side. — White, 

 U'itli ochrcous- and rvfous-hroicn irregular transverse stricc ; in each 

 wing, commencing on costa, a stria before middle, an elongate sub- 

 lunulate mark closing discoidal cell, a broad stria beyond middle, a 

 submarginal linear streak, and a hind-marginal linear edging. Fo7X- 

 ■iring : close to base, a short broad transverse marking, between sub- 

 costal and submedian nervures ; outer transverse stria more irregular 

 and much dentate on both edges. Hind-iving : costa at base narrowly 

 edged with brownish-ochreous ; inner transverse stria much narrower 

 than in fore-wing ; both stria3 very acutely angulated on submedian 

 nervure, and thence diverted, the inner quite, the outer very nearly, to 

 base ; sub-marginal linear streak adjoins two black spots (the lower 

 larger) close to costa, is there, as well as on submedian nervure, inter- 

 rupted, and from the latter point diverted, edging inner margin to 

 before middle ; black spots at and near anal angle inwardly scaled with 

 bluish-silvery — the middle one often obsolete, and represented by some 

 fuscous and bluish-silvery scales. 



$ Similar ; the blue duller and its area more restricted ; all the 

 white markings larger and almost wholly free from any blue suffusion, 

 especially in hind- wing. Under side. — As in ^, but the strife (espe- 

 cially the sub-marginal and hind-marginal linear ones) of a decidedly 

 clearer, more fulvous tint. 



Aberration (or Veirietij ?). 



A $ from Springbokfontein, in Little Namaqualand, has in the 

 fore-wing the Avhite mark just beyond disco-cellular lunule obsolete, 

 the two upper white spots of discal row quadrate, and the third and 

 fourth entirely wanting ; while in the hind-wing the white markings 

 are even fainter than is usual in the $, and the sub-marginal lunulate 

 blackish streak is obsolete. On the under side the principal stride are 

 greatly widened and of a duller brown ; the space between the sub- 

 marginal and hind-marginal streaks is filled with paler-brown mixed 

 with grey, and in the hind-wing the space before middle is similarly 

 but more thinly obscured. (In the South- African jNIuseum, presented 

 by Mr. G. A. Reynolds, who took the specimen at JNIatje's Kloof in 



1873-)' 



^ In 1S67 I made a note of an apparent aberration of /. Bowlei'i in the remains of the 

 Burchell Collection at the Oxford Museum, which seems closely to resemble that described 

 in the text. In Burchell's ISIS, list, kindly lent to me by Professor Westwood, I found the 

 locality of this specimen, which was taken in the year 1814, given as " Chue Spring, on 

 :Maadje Mountains ; lat. 26° iS' ll", long, about 24°,"— in the territory now known as 

 Bechuanaland.
