  These 
  notes 
  show 
  

   that 
  it 
  had 
  already 
  made 
  some 
  headway 
  but 
  was 
  still 
  a 
  rarity. 
  

   On 
  my 
  return 
  from 
  the 
  Swaziland 
  trip 
  I 
  at 
  once 
  noticed 
  the 
  

   increased 
  frequency 
  of 
  its 
  appearance, 
  and 
  soon 
  after 
  dropped 
  

   noting 
  its 
  capture 
  or 
  occurrence. 
  

  

  " 
  In 
  Mr. 
  Morant's 
  time 
  (1872) 
  it 
  was 
  evidently 
  a 
  rare 
  species 
  

   about 
  Pretoria, 
  as 
  he 
  only 
  records 
  the 
  capture 
  of 
  two 
  examples, 
  

   c? 
  and 
  $. 
  It 
  would 
  be 
  interesting 
  to 
  trace, 
  if 
  only 
  we 
  had 
  

   Bome 
  reliable 
  data, 
  its 
  migration 
  in 
  a 
  south-westerly 
  direction 
  ; 
  

   for 
  its 
  introduction 
  to 
  this 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  world, 
  except 
  as 
  an 
  

   occasional 
  visitor, 
  is 
  certainly 
  very 
  recent. 
  Its 
  larva 
  is 
  

   almost 
  identical 
  with 
  that 
  of 
  Euphaedra, 
  a 
  tropical 
  group, 
  

   only 
  one 
  of 
  which, 
  neophron, 
  Hopff., 
  has 
  got 
  so 
  far 
  south 
  as 
  

   Delagoa 
  Bay."

  " 
  In 
  a 
  collection 
  made 
  by 
  a 
  German 
  in 
  the 
  

   neighbourhood 
  of 
  Morogoro, 
  late 
  German 
  East 
  Africa, 
  and 
  

   presented 
  to 
  the 
  Durban 
  Museum 
  by 
  Col. 
  Molyneux, 
  there 
  is 
  

   a 
  single 
  example 
  of 
  this 
  variety 
  of 
  poggei. 
  It 
  is 
  the 
  only 
  

   Pseudacraea 
  in 
  the 
  collection, 
  which 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  one. 
  There 
  

   are 
  a 
  few 
  D. 
  chrysippus, 
  type, 
  but 
  none 
  of 
  the 
  dorippus 
  form. 
  

   I 
  thought 
  you 
  would 
  like 
  to 
  know 
  of 
  its 
  occurrence 
  in 
  this 
  

   locality. 
  It 
  is 
  labelled 
  ' 
  Fima 
  (12/13),' 
  which 
  I 
  am 
  told 
  is 
  

   the 
  name 
  of 
  the 
  place 
  close 
  to 
  Morogoro, 
  where 
  this 
  German 
  

   naturalist 
  was 
  residing. 
  The 
  collection 
  had 
  been 
  continued 
  

   from 
  1910 
  to 
  July 
  1916, 
  and 
  the 
  localities 
  all 
  appear 
  to 
  be 
  

   stations 
  along 
  the 
  Central 
  Railway 
  line." 
  

  

  Possible 
  origin

  As 
  regards 
  the 
  pollen 
  covering 
  the 
  Papilio 
  

   lyaeus 
  that 
  I 
  sent 
  you, 
  I 
  am 
  wondering 
  whether 
  it 
  might 
  be 
  

   that 
  of 
  the 
  Arum 
  lily. 
  The 
  lilies 
  are 
  common 
  about 
  the 
  flats 
  

   below 
  the 
  Stella 
  bush, 
  where 
  I 
  caught 
  the 
  butterfly, 
  and 
  it 
  

   is 
  quite 
  possible 
  that 
  he 
  had 
  got 
  caught 
  up 
  by 
  his 
  haustellum.
