mentioned arrived from Colonel Bowker, and during the same and the follow- 
ing months I had the pleasure of capturing numerous examples in the neigh- 
bourhood of Graham stown. It is a very obscure little species, and would 
readily be passed over for one of the duller species of Lycaena. The first individual 
I noticed was sitting on a flower of Acacia Jiorrida, but numerous others were 
taken flitting about near the ground, among herbage and low shrubs. Colonel 
Bowker's 'specimen was noted by him as taken "on the stony ground among 
short grass and flowers, i4tli December 1869."
