542 Rev. K, St. Aubyn Rogers' Bionomic Notes on 



a. Precis sesamus, Trim. 



Bahai, Sept. 30, 1906. 



I should have mentioned that I found Precis sesamus in 

 Kikuyu (I had a month there during August 1906). All 

 the specimens I took were the dry form, which is what one 

 would expect ; but I saw the wet form once. This year 

 has been very wet in Kikuyu as well as at the coast, but 

 the rains stopped in Kikuyu early in June, and I was 

 there in the Dry Season : still the country was not at all 

 dried up and the grass was still green. I doubt if it does 

 dry up at this time of year in normal years. I also found 

 Precis archesia, but those were all of the " loct " phase, 

 which is rather extraordinary,
