Show 1894.] FROM BRITISH EAST AFRICA. 563 Kinani; Mtoto wa Ande; Njempo, shores of Lake Baringo, taken at night. Evidently a common though somewhat local species. Mr. Trimen says that he recognized it by the help of a coloured drawing of the type. I have only recently recognized it through Mr. Trimen's plate, a coloured proof of which was submitted to me to pass for printing. In the description by Trimen (South Afr. Butt.) this species is clearly compared with my J. calescens, which I find that Staudinger has superseded in his letterpress, though not on his plate, by calling it Precis octavia, var. natalensis. That it is not variety (as Staudinger imagiued from the fact that he had, apparently, only one example from Natal) is certain; for it occurs in localities where the allied Junonia octavia is not found, and which it evidently replaces, as J. simia does in the present collection. Whether the names natalica and natalensis should both stand may be questioned. 25. JUNONIA TEREA, var. Papilio terea, Drury, 111. Exot.
