Said to be the form occurring between the wet and dry seasons ; 

 but, from what Mr. Crawshay says of Nyika, there ought to be no 

 dry-season forms there. At Zomba it occurs- (in company with 

 J. simia) in July and (in company with both J. simia and 

 J. cuama) in December : indeed, if we had a larger series of each 

 of these species, I believe it would be possible to prove that they 

 always fly simultaneously. The female of J. trimeni noted above 

 has dry-season characters on the under surface. 1

This makes the second dated example which we have received, 

 the first dated specimen having been obtained in September : on 

 the other hand, J. aurorina (which might well be the wet-season 

 form of J. tugela) appears, from our dated specimens, to fly from 

 December to April. In South Africa Mr. Trimen records 

 specimens of J. tugela as taken in March and May ; whether the 

 dry season commences so early as March on the Tugela River I do 

 not know.

1 Why a pair taken on the same day should differ in the features supposed 

 to characterize the two seasons, and in a country where it is never really dry, 

 is a riddle which I do not pretend to solve. A. G. B.
