large on the secondaries, exhibiting the first step in the direction 

 of J. boopis : it varies from cobalt to lilac in tint.

Kinani; platform on Kikuyu escarpment, Kedong, jNaiva ; shores 

 of Lake Baringo ; Njempo ; Guaso Narok ; Guaso Laschau ; steppes 

 N.W. of Longari ; Thagana ; steppes of Thika-Shika ; steppes 

 between At hi and Thika ; Athi plains, Chjanjavi ; Maka; Ndoli ; 

 Sabaki Valley at Tanganyika and near Makongeni. 



As regards the form of the tawny patches and the size, shape, 

 and colouring of the blue or violet spot on the secondaries the 

 specimens vary not a little ; it therefore seems doubtful whether 

 the Malagasy form, J. paris, will prove to be specifically distinct.

]Vo exact locality on the specimen ; probably Sabaki Valley. 



This interesting little species is quite intermediate between 

 P. atalanta and P. dejeanii ; but, as Felder says, belongs to the 

 P. atalanta-growp. In colouring it more nearly resembles Eurema 

 schoeneia, Trimen, but has a short ochreous bar beyond the cell of 

 the primaries representing the white bar in P. atalanta. 



Trimen observes that 1 evidently included E. sehoeneia under my 

 Hypanartia commixta (in which he is quite correct) ; but whether 

 the date printed with Oberthiir's paper was that of its actual publi- 

 cation is, I think, open to question.

Three examples exactly corresponding with typical females of 

 the three supposed species ; thus distinctly proving that they are 

 mere sports of one variable form, as I previously suggested.
