NYMPHALINzE. 
this beautiful Junonia as far soutli as Potchefstroom in tlie Transvaal. In 1872 
fine examples from that locality were sent to me by Mr. Walter Morant and 
Mr. Thomas Ayres, the former of whom wrote that at the end of February the 
butterfly was plentiful but local on the banks of the Mooi Eiver, and also 
occurred in January, stragglers continuing to appear in April and May. Near 
Pretoria Mr. Morant also took an example, in swampy ground, on 28th J\larch. 
Colonel Bowker has sent me a single male example, with the information 
that it was captured on the 27th November 1882 in a footpath at Isipingo, 
Natal, in company with a number of /. Clelia.
