  Mr. 
  E. 
  Trimen 
  on 
  some 
  recent 
  additions 
  

  

  presented 
  to 
  me 
  by 
  Capt. 
  A. 
  M. 
  Goodrich, 
  of 
  the 
  Innis- 
  

   kilHng 
  Fusiliers. 
  Eecently 
  I 
  have 
  received, 
  from 
  Major 
  

   J. 
  S. 
  D'Aguilar, 
  a 
  <? 
  and 
  a 
  ? 
  taken 
  by 
  him 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  

   station 
  in 
  1886; 
  and 
  lastly, 
  Mr. 
  Cecil 
  N. 
  Barker 
  has 
  

   presented 
  to 
  the 
  Museum 
  a 
  ? 
  taken 
  by 
  him 
  at 
  Malvern, 
  

   near 
  D'Urban, 
  Natal, 
  on 
  the 
  14th 
  April, 
  1890. 
  

  

  These 
  southern 
  examples 
  differ 
  from 
  the 
  typical 
  West 
  

   African 
  specimens 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  black 
  spots 
  of 
  the 
  

   hind 
  wings, 
  which 
  is 
  not 
  nearly 
  so 
  rounded 
  ; 
  the 
  discal 
  

   series 
  of 
  those 
  spots 
  is 
  also 
  less 
  irregular 
  and 
  more 
  con- 
  

   tinuous 
  (the 
  3rd 
  and 
  4th 
  spots 
  being 
  nearer 
  to 
  the 
  

   extremity 
  of 
  the 
  discoidal 
  cell), 
  while 
  the 
  subbasal 
  spot 
  

   in 
  the 
  cell 
  is 
  wanting, 
  and 
  that 
  immediately 
  below 
  it 
  is 
  

   crescentic. 
  In 
  the 
  southern 
  $ 
  example, 
  moreover, 
  the 
  

   dull 
  brick-red 
  of 
  the 
  basi-inner-marginal 
  area 
  of 
  the 
  

   fore 
  wings 
  is 
  superiorly 
  more 
  extended, 
  covering 
  the 
  

   lower 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  discoidal 
  cell, 
  and 
  the 
  discal 
  series 
  of 
  

   indistinct 
  fuscous 
  spots 
  is 
  obsolete. 
  This 
  discal 
  series 
  

   of 
  fore-wing 
  spots 
  is, 
  however, 
  present 
  in 
  all 
  the 
  three 
  

   southern 
  females. 
  

  

  Until 
  more 
  South 
  African 
  specimens 
  are 
  known, 
  it 
  

   must 
  remain 
  uncertain 
  whether 
  the 
  differences 
  pointed 
  

   out 
  are 
  constant. 
  In 
  the 
  females 
  the 
  red 
  of 
  the 
  3 
  is 
  

   wanting, 
  being 
  replaced 
  by 
  a 
  dull 
  creamy 
  or 
  brownish 
  

   creamy 
  tint.

  Horta

  Its
