Holland's flgure looks much more like the true female of zabulon than 

 Like pocahontas, though it is impossible to identify a flgure of the upper 

 surface accurately. The under surface of the secondaries of the male of 

 zaiuJon is bright yellow with a few marks of brown. In the female the 

 brown areas are more extensive and the entire wing is so heavily powdered 

 with rusty scales that it is diflicult to trace the pale areas at all.
