In my modest opinion, degrees with distinction differs from degrees with honors in the way that degrees with distinction has a higher rank in usage than degrees with honors.

honours is also an extra semester you can study, within the same uni undergraduate degree. It �s like a specialty course, where the grad does some research work on a given area... you can only do it if you �ve finished your degree, but it �s not a masters or a PhD...

Maybe it �s different in different systems; here people often refer to "graduating with honors"
