" The Butterflies of the Transvaal." Annals and Magazine of 

 Natural History, vol. i., seventh series, 1898, pp. 47-56. 



Is an enumeration of the Bhopalocera recorded from the 

 Transvaal, amounting to 238 species. The list will, doubtless, 

 be increased when the warm and unhealthy north-eastern 

 regions of the State have been visited by a good collector. The 

 Transvaal Republic, according to the author, has no distinctive 

 faunistic element, and in zoogeography is merely part of the 

 present somewhat ill-defined South African division of the 

 Ethiopian region.

In treating of Terias brigitta, which ranges from the Cape 

 of Good Hope northwards to Abyssinia, and westwards from 

 Angola to Sierra Leone, the author states that Terias zoe — T. 

 caffra is the wet season form, and T. candace = seruli the inter- 

 mediate form, and that the dry form is T. brigitta, and describes 

 as Terias marshalli a new species ranging from the Albert 

 Nyanza southwards to Caffraria, and on the West Coast from 

 Angola northwards to the Niger. This new species is the same 

 as Terias desjardinsi, Trimen, nee Boisduval ; T. cethiopica, 

 Trim., is the dry season form of T. hapale, Mab. ; and T. butler i, 

 Triia. = T. orientis,l$u.tl., and is synonymous with T. sencgalensis, 

 Boisd.
