cell, and a good-sized one on the costa ; and the minute 

 spot immediately beyond the upper terminal angle of the 

 cell is wanting. On the underside the colouring is 

 brighter and redder. In the fore- wi7igs, the spots noted 

 as wanting on the upperside are present, with the excep- 

 tion of the upper of the two submarginal ones, and 

 though small are distinct ; in the hind-wings the discal 

 row of spots is as above described, with the addition of 

 a small spot on the inner margin ; the inner spot in the cell 

 is wanting, as well as the minute one immediately be- 

 yond the upper terminal angle ; the basal and inner 

 marginal reddish-pink colouring is broader and brighter 

 than usual; and the spots in the black hind-marginal 

 border are much smaller than usual, more rounded, and 

 white instead of yellowish. The spots of the head, 

 collar, and abdomen are conspicuously white, and un- 

 usually large.

All the examples sent by Mr, Bowker from the ele- 

 vated region at the heads of the Orange River, as ^ell 

 as those from the heads of the Umzimvoobo or St. John's 

 River, on the Kaffrarian side of the Drakensberg range, 

 are very much smaller than those which I met with in 

 Natal, and considerably paler in colour. They expand 

 only from 1 in. 8 lin. to 1 in. 10 lin.; and the males ap- 

 proach the two specimens taken by the same gentle- 

 man towards the southern border of Kaffraria proper, 

 in the character of an indistinct sub-apical bar, paler 

 than the ground-colour, in the fore- wings. On the un- 

 derside of the hind-wings the pink markings are very 

 faint. Two of the $ examples have the same minute 

 spot as in the ? between the median and submedian 

 nervures of the fore-wings.
