Butterflies of the Transvaal. 49 



concourse of the typical form in the month of March, and this 

 capture surprised Mr. Triraen. In the same month of 

 another year I also took a specimen in the bush on the back- 

 beach at Durban, when Mr. A. D. Miller, a well-known 

 lepidopterist of that port, told me that though he had collected 

 for. sixteen years, he had never seen a specimen. 



Amauris is a very scarce genus in the Transvaal, and 

 appears to be only recorded from the Eastern districts. At 

 Barberton, in the thick bush high up Rymer's Creek, I took 

 a pair of ^. dominicanus, and Mr. Triraen received A. eclieria 

 from the same neighbourhood.

The more or less bare open veld country is not the rendez- 

 vous for Satyrinaa. Of the twelve species I brought back 

 with me it will be seen that only four were obtained in the 

 Pretoria district. Of these I procured three on ray first 

 visit, and another three years' collecting only produced one 

 other species. One of these— ife^amWs leda~l also found 

 very rare.
