extreme dry-season types seem to occur : the pattern of T. antiyoiie 

 represents the latter, but the rosy colouring on the under surface, 

 characteristic of Southern, Eastern, aiul Northern types, is wanting.

" Oblong yellow ova " (R. C.). 



The largest specimens of the species which I have seen, and, 

 apparently, the only form taken in Nyasa-land. It differs from 

 typical B. tliysa in the narrower black border at apex of primaries 

 and the more dentate -sinuate (rather than zigzag) character of the 

 inner edge of the outer border ; the subapical spots well separated 

 from the border, though touching the black veins in the female. 

 The type of B. sabrata was an unusually small example. A very 

 curious female of B. thysa, with glaucous greyish apex of primaries 

 and ground-colour to secondaries below, was obtained on the 

 Chuona Eiver (Mwewe's), Unyika, August 26th, 1895.

" i'airly plentiful, but very difficult to take, as it flies high, 

 skimming the trees, and rarely comes down within reach." The 

 female contained " large spherical boiled-sago-coloured ova " 

 (11. C.). 



All the specimens were more or less shattered, the female with 

 the same green bands and spots as the male ; all the specimens 

 with the subapical patch on the primaries rather smaller than in 

 Western examples.
