PAPILIONIN^.

The range of the species beyond South Africa is not clearly known, but as 
it occurs ( (J of continuous-banded marking, and $ of Hippocoon-likQ form) at 
Zanguebar and Zanzibar, it is not improbable that it is native to the inter- 
vening country north of Delagoa Bay. Many years ago I noted a Merope, 
brought by Mr. H. Waller from Mount Morambala, on the River Shire, an 
important lower tributary of the Zambesi, but did not record whether it agreed 
with the more Southern examples.
