“Orange and brown spotted Skipper” (2. C.). 
The specimens now received link P. watsone to P. zeno, the 
orange cell-spot of the primaries, which in P. watsoni extends 
almost to the base, proving it to be variable; the discal band of the 
secondaries also varies in width, and the under-surface colouring 
from the bright yellow with badly defined darker bands of 
P. watsoni to the duller brown banded character of P. zeno: all 
the examples now received having been taken in April, the dit- 
ferences cannot be seasonal.

100. Baoris, sp. (A continental form of B. wmbrata.) 
This species, which is almost certain to have been named by 
either M. Mabille or Herr Plotz, differs from B. wmbrata of the 
Island of Johanna only in its slightly superior size, more elongated 
wings, and blacker colouring ; in markings, pale fringes and palpi, 
and the pale areas below it agrees, excepting that the pale colouring 
is less pronounced.
