and apex darker than in $ the former faintly irrorated with 

 brown, the latter more widely so than in $ ; hind-marginal 

 dots as in $ . Hind-wing : clearer in tint than in $ , not so 

 reddish, irrorations darker ; a conspicuous, shining-white, 

 disco-cellular dot; a distinct, angulated, brown, transverse 

 stripe or shade, the edges of which are not clearly defined ; 

 hind-marginal dots as in $ , between nervules (no trace of 

 the large blackish spots at ends of nervules, so conspicuous 

 on upper-side). Apex of fore-wing more rounded than in $ . 

 In the white specimens of the ? , the blackish spots on 

 the upper-side are considerably smaller and fainter than as 

 above described.

This very beautiful and distinct species of Anthocharis was first discovered 

 in British Kaffraria, in the month of September, 1860, by Mr. D'Urban, 

 who has kindly forwarded me specimens of both sexes, from which the 

 foregoing description has been made. The following restricted localities of 

 capture* seem to afford sufficient reason for the name proposed by Mr. 

 D'Urban for this species. " Very abundant at Kingscote, near Bodiam, 

 on the Keiskamma, about five miles from the sea, and as far as the Cha- 

 lumna." "At the end of November, at Line Drift on the Keiskamma, I 

 saw this butterfly in the greatest profusion near the river ; but only a few 

 stragglers were seen a mile or so beyond, and none anywhere else ; though 

 I have just come off a ride of about 120 miles in four days, having visited 

 the following places, viz. : Tamacha, Line Drift, Breakfast Vley, Alice, 

 Middle Drift, and Fort White." D'Urban, in litt.

"Pale-yellow; with citron -yellow apical patch. Fore-wing : 

 very pale citron-yellow ; apex more pointed than in most of 

 the other species ; a small black dot at extremity of discoidai 

 cell ; beyond it a short, oblique, rather broad, black stripe, 

 commencing on costa, and not reaching to (hind ?) margin, 

 which is also black, the triangular space, between the stripe 

 and the margin, of a vivid citron -yellow. Hind -wing : al- 

 most white ; without spots. UNDER-SIDE. Faintly yellow- 

 ish white ; apex of fore-wing, and also the hind-wing, finely 

 powdered with brown atoms. Discovered by Mr. Burchell, 



* Mr. D'Urban has since found the insect abundant in the Fish River 

 Bush, and informs me that Captain Colley, 2nd Queen's, reported its 

 occurring abundantly in a kloof on the T'ninika, a tributary of the Kei. 



f I cannot find this species figured in the copy of the "Illustrations" 

 in the Public Library, Cape Town, pi. 115 (vol. II) being a figure of a 

 Brazilian bird, Platyrynchus cancromus.
