 " Papilio. The flight of this is remarkable, for it does 

 not always hover by a constant motion of wings, but 

 frequently sails with wings half extended, without moving 

 them at all ; nor is it very visible by wliat movement it

 The fact that Burchell captured two specimens on 15. 8. 25 

 is also shown by his note-book. The only name given is 

 Banais. 



[I was extremely interested to read Burchell's note on 

 specimen no. 178, inasmuch as it exactly describes a common 

 mode of flight in the allied Danaine Anosia plexippus. I was

 summer of 1897, for I had never seen a butterfly sail in the 

 same manner before. The appearance produced by the half- 

 extended wings was singularly boat-like, the resemblance 

 being much increased by a continual oscillation from side to
