from that of Forestan, and the under-side black spots appear to be 
identical in size and position. The pupal state lasted in February for 
ten days. 
In flight and habits there is nothing to distinguish this butterfly from 
Forestan. In Natal the two forms are often found on the wing together, and 
in February 1867 I on several occasions captured both on the same bush of 
Lantana near D'Urban. Pisistratiis, however, was the rarer, and it seems to 
be generally scarcer in South Africa. Colonel Bowker did not send any speci- 
mens from Basutoland, but informed me that the species was not uncommon 
at Maseru in the autumn, appearing about a fortnight later than Forestan,
