J Bright-yellow ; fore-wing luith a hroad orange apical patch. Fore- 
wing : apical orange commencing on costa a little before extremity of 
discoidal cell, and its outer edge occupying hind-margin as far as 
D'Urban, and that " during the winter months it is much smaller, and varies considerably 
in the markings." Of the ten specimens he has sent me, five, ticketed "December 1887," 
are large and broad-bordered, while the remaining five, ticketed "August 1887," are small 
and narrow-bordered — three of them strikingly so. 
1 Mr. Butler {Proc. Zool. Soc. lond., 1888, p. 96) has described these specimens of Mr. 
Johnston's, with others from the same locality taken by the late Bishop Hannington, and at 
Kilima-njaro by Mr. F. J. Jackson, under the name of Eronia dilatata; but it seems per- 
fectly clear to me that the paler yellow and broader border of the hind-wings on the under 
side, given by Mr. Butler as "the only satisfactory distinguishing characters," are altogether 
insufficient to warrant the separation of these examples from so highly variable a species as| 
E. Cleodora has been shown to be. !
