SOUTH-AFEICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
X. Boivlieri is a lover of higli-lying localities, all tlie recorded ' 
specimens having occurred at a tolerable elevation. Colonel Bowker ! 
notes it as not rare in Basutoland, and in Kaffraria observed that it ' 
was confined to lofty hill ridges.^ j 
The only 9 that I have seen was acquired by the South- African Museum 
in 1879 from Mr. T. Ayres, who noted it as having been captured in the | 
Ljdenburg District of the Transvaal. |
