I found Precis octavia var. exceedingly scarce in tlie Trans- 

 vaal, having only secured one specimen at Pretoria. I have 

 since received another example from Johannesburg. P. sesa- 

 mus ^ on the contrary, was very abundant, and always during 

 the wet or summer season, frequenting my small flower- 

 garden. Hence I have found no evidence for the proposition 

 made by Mr. Guy A. K. Marshall (Trans. Ent. Soc. 1896, 

 p. 557) that the two species are identical, or, rather, that 

 P. octavia is the wet-season and P. sesamus tlie dry-season 

 form.
