386 Mr. Roland Trimen on. some hitherto 



are usually all represented, but are rarely more than minute, 

 and in some cases one or two are barely indicated or 

 actually wanting, while in three $$ I found all four com- 

 pletely obsolete. The three dark-brown irregular trans- 

 verse streaks on the underside of the hindwing, and the 

 paler fascia between the middle and outer streaks, are also 

 variable in their definition. 



This Pseudonympha was discovered near King William's 

 Town, as far back as the year 1861, by my friend Mr. 

 W. S. M. D'Urbau, and I had the pleasure of naming it after 

 him in my work quoted above, and of recording the few 

 other specimens that had reached me from other localities 

 in Eastern Cape Colony, vid. Grahamstown (Mrs. M. E. 

 Barber), and the north of tlie Albert District (Col. J. H. 

 Bowker). It was not until 1891-93 that I received a fine 

 series of the insect, from Dordrecht, in tlie Wodehouse 

 District of N.E. Cape Colony, taken by an ardent and 

 successful entomological observer, Mr. Francis Graham, 

 then resident magistrate of the district. He reported it as 

 occurring numerously from October to January, but as 

 being almost exclusively confined to the higher hill- 

 slopes.

In my work above cited I was able to mention only 

 two examples which agreed satisfactorily with Cramer's 

 rough figures, and to a less extent with the equally rough 

 woodcut given by Burchell * of the upperside of his 

 Papilio {Hipparchia) montana. These examples were 

 taken by myself on the summit of the southern projection 

 of the Table Mountain range, respectively in February 

 1864, and January 1865 ; and Burchell's insect is similarly 

 recorded as having been taken on the summit of the 

 eastern side of Table Mountain on January 24, 1811. In 

 the Appendix to Vol. iii of ray work, I noted (p. 895) the 

 capture by Mr. H. L. Feltham of a third example in the 

 same locality in January 1888, and of three others at a
