very deep in colouring, with the ochreous belt of the primaries

 these wings. 



The following is a list of the species : 



RHOPALOCERA. 

 NYMPHALID^J.

Both wet and dry forms were obtained ; the specimens (dry-

 probably been long on the wing. 



8. SAMANTA PERSPICUA Trim.

Wet, intermediate, and dry forms were obtained, the last being 

 my S. simonsi and thus proving the correctness of Mr. Marshall's 

 supposition. In the intermediate form, however, the fulvous 

 colouring of S. simonsi is only indicated on the ocelliferous area of 

 the wings. 



9. MYCALESIS SAFITZA Hewits, 



Eastern Transvaal and Inure. 



Wet, intermediate, and dry-season examples were obtained ;
