12 MR. C. V. A. PEEL AND OTHERS OK [Jail. 23, 



this submarginal pale area is somewhat more distinct than in 

 the other British Museum specimens, but it does not reach the 

 condition seen in Mr. Peel's examples. The dated specimens in 

 the National Collection were taken at Bundu Maria, Somaliland, 

 in April. Mr. Peel's were all captured at A oho, near Hodayu, 

 Ogaden Country, Central Somaliland, on Aug. 20, 1897. The 

 country consisted of stony hills, with thick bush. Prom the dates 

 it seems probable that the present specimens belong to the wet- 

 season, and the British Museum specimens to the dry-season form 

 of the species. 



Nymphalinte. 



Jutstonia cebrene Trim. 



Six specimens, all males. Three were captured at Hargaisa, 

 April 25-28, 1895 ; the other three in the summer of 1897, two 

 bearing the date June 20, and the locality Arigumeret, Parfanyer 

 District. These latter have the underside generally darker and 

 more speckled than the spring examples ; this is less apparent in the 

 third specimen, from Central or East Somaliland, June 5-Oct. 29, 

 1897. 



Junokia clelia Cram. 



Six specimens : 3 d , 3 £ . Hargaisa, April 25-28, 1895. The 

 undersides of these specimens vary, but in all the ocelli are more 

 distinct and the general tint is less uniform than in the ordinary 

 " dry-season " form of the species. 



Juntotia tateta Bogeuh. 



One male. Hargaisa, April 25-28, 1895. 



Btblta ilithyia Drury. 



Pour specimens : 3 d , 1 2 • These are of the " intermediate " 

 seasonal form, the female verging towards " wet " l . All are dated 

 Hargaisa, April 25-28, 1895. 



Hypolimnas misippus Linn. 



Twenty -eight specimens: 26 tf, 2 §. It is very remarkable 

 that of the only two female specimens obtained by Mr. Peel, one 

 should be of the ordinary form, resembling the type of L. eliry- 

 sijtyus, and the other of the var. alcippoides, differing from the 

 former only in the whitish suffusion on both surfaces of the hind 

 wing. Prom the facts given above (see under L. chrysippus, p. 10), 

 it would appear that the form Tclugii of L. chrysipjms occurs in 

 Somaliland to the exclusion of the type, and it might have been 

 expected that the form of IL misippus 5 which so closely l'esembles 

 Tclugii, viz. H. inaria Cram., would have been the form similarly
