' Specimens from Dnraara Land are much smaller and paler than the type, 

 and have a narrow, compact, hind-marg nal border on hind-wing, en- 

 closing much smaller spots. The under-side of hind-wing is also more 

 generally suffused with pinkish-red. The under-side spots of hind-wing in 

 the type vary very much in size and number.

Mr. Bowker observes : K Found among reeds and in forest near water, in- 

 summer, autumn, and winter. 5 * Mr. D'Urban writes that Mr. Hewitson 4 

 has figured and described this species as A. Esebria (Exot. Butt., II, pi. 

 20, f. 11, 12). This, being the older name, must be adopted instead of 

 mine.

 stones." J. H. B.

Mr. Bowker observes : " Settl s near the top of flowering trees, but 

 only for a few seconds, and then away before the net has a chance. The 

 best way is to make a rapid sweep at the insect while in flight, as it fre- 

 quently happens that on a person approaching the tree on which it sits, the 

 butterfly flies direct towards him, often passing within a few inches of his 

 head. Its colour is very brilliant : no mistaking it even at a distance and' 

 among other butterflies. Very local; always solitary. Marcn to May,
