Six Basuto-land examples, of which two are ? , have 

 the underside colouring of the hind-wings and apices of 

 fore-wings considerably paler than in Cape specimens, 

 and approaching the hue above described in the ? of C. 

 Syrinx. One of the females is remarkable for the well 

 defined rows of submargiual spots on the upperside 

 (especially in the hind-wings) , and for the vivid orange 

 of the spots on the uudei'side. In March, 18G9, Mr. 

 Bowker met ^vith this species near the heads of the 

 Umzimvoobo, or St. John's River, on the Kafirarian side 

 of the Drakensberg.

A c? received from Mr. Bowker is very strongly suf- 

 fused with yellow, more so than the " var. ^ " described 

 in Rhop. Afr. aust. p. 301, and with paler cilia than 

 usual ; while the yellow of the underside has a greenish 

 tinge. A ? has all the markings strongly defined. The 

 species was taken by Mr. Bowker near the heads of the 

 Umzimvoobo, in March, 18G9.

Mr. Bowker met with this curious Skipper at Koro- 

 Koro, in the Maluti Mountains, and on the banks of tlie 

 Makaleng River, and forwarded a i and two ? to Cape 

 Town. The male is smaller than the specimen sent from 

 Kaffraria, expanding only ] in., and has the fore-wings 

 less pointed at the apex ; while on the upperside of the 

 fore-wings the first sub-apical, upper cellular, and lowest 

 discal spots are wanting, and on the underside there is 

 no cellular spot, and the two discal spots are very faint.
