mediate phase (2\ omphahides=^conipIexivus)^ wliicli has a 

 dry-season under surface, the discal black belt is either barely 

 indicated or wholly absent. T. corda is merely a starved 

 variety of the male of this phase. T. t1ieogone=^iirocne is 

 the extreme dry-season form, in which the black discal belt 

 of the male has wholly disappeared and the intei-nal stripe 

 on the primaries nearly so, whilst the female is much less 

 Jieavily marked than in the wet-season, and is sometimes 

 yellow, flushed with orange above ; the under surface of the 

 dry-seasou form is very rosy and irrorated with clay-brown.

It is perhaps only an emphasized form of T. omphale, from 

 which it chiefly diflers in the greater development of black on 

 the upper surface, even the dry- season phase having a 

 distinctly wet-season pattern above. The female figured by 

 E,eiche as that sex of T. exole is T. antevippe. T. acte of 

 Felder is the true female (wet-season form), T. roxane is a 

 female of the intermediate phase, and T. hybridus^ which 

 Mr. Marshall places as an intermediate phase of T. evippe^ is 

 the dry-season form. A. eurygone answers best to the wet- 

 season form of T. exole, but tlie locality " Coast of Guinea" 

 is rather against this identification.

Apparently confined to the vicinity of Mount Kenya : two 

 specimens (the types) not being ticketed with exact locality, 

 I supposed them to be from the Sabaki valley ; the same was 

 the case with three examples of the wet-season form, but 

 others are labelled Thegu and Thagana. Guaso Thegu is a 

 gorge to the west of Mount Kenya, and Thagana appears not 

 to be far off". 



The wet-season form of this butterfly resembles small and 

 lightly marked examples of T. omphale on the upper surface, 

 but below it inclines to pink rather than cream-colour in tint, 

 and this is especially the case with the discal stripe on the
