tending on the whole, as in Natal specimens generally, to 

 resemble the Amam-is cdbimacidata and the white-spotted 

 forms of A. echeria. The appearance of the same peculiarity, 

 such as the division of spot (5) in many individuals supports 

 the evidence brought forward in 1908 (Trans. Ent. Soc, pp. 

 443-5) that modifications of minute elements in the pattern 

 are certainly hereditary. 



Of the 2 hippoeoon offspring, No 16 possesses the apical 

 spot (8) of the fore-wing, while No. 13 resembles the parent 

 in being without it. Spot (5) in both resembles the parent, but 

 not so completely as that of the 4 trophonins. 



Of the 4 trophonius offspring, two, Nob. 33 and 34. possess 

 the apical spot, while Nos. 11 and 19 are without it. All 

 four exhibit the faint fulvous suffusion of the costal section 

 of the Bubapical bar — a condition more strongly developed in 

 No, 33 t ban in the parent. 



Papain ilarihoiux, new female form hujlii. 



There can be no doubt that this variety, bred in Natal by 



Mr. Leigh biz times in 1910 and also captured twice in Natal, 



see sufficient stability to rank as one of the female forms 



of dardanu8. I therefore propose to name it theleighi form in 



honour of the naturalist who was the first to breed P. dardanus, 



[ \ \ \ i \ 

 the most interesting of butterflies, from known parents. Further 

 convincing evidence of its stability as a form is seen in the 

 fact that it. also occurs almost unchanged so far away from 

 Natal as the N.E. corner <>f the Victoria Nyanza. A 

 specimen collected by Mr. A. II. Harrison about 1903 at 

 " Unyori," N.E. of Kisumu, differs from the Natal specimens 

 no more than the other female tonus of P. dardanus from 

 these two remote localities are known to differ. M Unyori," as 

 Mr. C. A. Wiggins informs me, is certainly a rendering of 

 "Nyangori," a forested locality at a height of about 5000 ft. 

 to the N.E. of the great lake. Mr. Harrison's specimen 

 was figured £ of the natural size, by the present writer in 

 Trans. Knt. Soc, 1906, Plate XX, fig. 1. It is there spoken 

 of as •• intermediate between plememoidea and cenea." The 

 figure here referred to may stand as an adequate repre-
