them apart, or to find any distinct character to separate them from 
Omphale ; and, indeed, Mr. Butler himself (loc. cit.) expresses some 
doubt on the point. 
I met with the typical form very numerously at Port Natal, and with the 
variety abundantly at Plettenberg Bay and near Grahamstown in the Cape 
Colony. It keeps very closely to wooded spots, especially in country where 
woods are sparse and stunted, and usually confined to small valleys or kloofs. 
It is less swift on the wing than Achme, Cram., and settles more frequently, 
never rising far from the ground. The largest and finest South- African speci- 
mens are from Natal and the Eastern Transvaal, but I have taken at D 'Urban 
a ^ only i J inches in expanse. This typical form of the species is not known 
to me to occur to the westward of the Bashee Eiver in Kaffraria. It is remark- 
able that both the typical form and the Variety A. occur at Delagoa Bay.
