SATYRINiE.

Under side. — Ground-colour ofliind-wing {especially near hind-margin), 
and of apex and hind-margin of fore-iuing, very much paler and greyer 
than in $ — in one example quite hoary near hind-margins. 
This fine Satyride was first made known to me by Mr. W. S. M. D'Urban, 
who took it abundantly in the year 1861, in forest country near Frankfort, to 
the north of King William's Town. It afterwards proved to be rather widely 
distributed in the eastern districts near the coast, from near Grahamstown as 
far as the Bashee Eiver in KafFraria Proper. At the end of January and during 
February 1870, I had the welcome opportunity of observing the species at High- 
lands, near Grahamstown, where it was plentiful on the outskirts of woods 
clothing the north sides of the hills. As noticed by Mr. D'Urban, Archdeacon 
Kitton, and Colonel Bowker, I found that Dendropldlus very rarely settled on 
leaves, but perpetually lighted on the stems of trees, near the ground, keeping 
its head downward. It is a great lover of shade, seldom venturing into a spot 
on which the sun is shining. I once found a number of specimens sucking at 
moisture in a hollow part of a tree-trunk just above the surface of the ground. 
I was struck by the scarcity of the 9 j o^^^ of thirty-six examples taken by 
Messrs. F. and H. Barber and myself at Highlands, only four, or one-ninth, were 
5 s ; and this is the more noteworthy, because both sexes have the same haunts 
and habits, flitting weakly about under cover of the trees. On examining 
nineteen specimens from various localities in the collection of the South-African 
Museum, I found about the same disproportion in the relative numbers of the 
sexes, only two being $ s.

various sizes, forming two irregular transverse rows in outer half of 
wing ; those of the inner row arranged so that four constitute a narrow 
oblique bar commencing on costa just beyond middle ; a fifth is below 
and rather before the fourth and much smaller, and the sixth large and 
sub-ovate between second and first median nervules about as far from 
base as the costal commencing spot of the row ; the outer row sinuated, 
consisting of seven spots, of which the first and third are minute, and 
the fifth and sixth about equal in size and largest ; an ochreous tinge 
over basal region most pronounced on inner margin. Hind-wing :
