" Orange and brown spotted Skipper " (R. C). 



The specimens now received link P. watsoni to P. zeno, the 

 orange cell-spot of the primaries, which in P. ivatsoni 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 bauds of 

 P. watsoni to the duller brown banded character of P. zeno : all 

 the examples now received having been taken in April, the dif- 

 ferences cannot be seasonal.

100. Baoeis, sp. (A continental form of B. umhrata.) 



This species, which is almost certain to have been named by 

 either M. Mabille or Herr Pliitz, difEers from B. umhrata 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. »
