This section is, therefore, predominantly male in character. 

 Gynandromorphs are rare in this group of Danaines, and we are 

 not aware of any other recorded case. 



4. Two new forms of the Satyrine genus Fieridiopsis. This 

 curious genus is known only from the high mountains of New 



Guinea. 



5. A new species of the genus Morphopais. distinct from any 

 known hitherto. It was found in the dark jungle resting on trees 

 head downwards. Another species (ida) of this genus was seen 

 flying north at 6.30 p.m. for three evenings in succession, and one 

 was finally caught at this hour on the third day. Only one was 

 seen each evening. 



6. Mimicry between an Agaristid moth {Inuiietalia lon;iipalpiii<, 

 Kirby), and an Erycinid butterfly {Praeta.rila sp. nov.). This 

 example of resemblance is the first of its kind known where the 

 male of one resembles the female of the other and the female of 

 one resembles the male of the other. The Agaristid is common and 

 widely distributed. Both were caught flying together. 



All the forms shown were obtained in the Weyland Mountains at 

 an elevation of from 8,500 to 6,000 feet, from Novemlier to February. 



7. Papilio caciciis race iura, R. and J., from Peru, with two of 

 its rare female forms, nais, R. and J., and a red form which diflers 

 from the typical zaildachi form. This red form of cadoifi bears a 

 remarkable resemblance to euterpinns, G. and S., which also occurs 



in North Peru. 



Mr. Percy Richards exhibited a drawer of Rnimcia pldaean 

 containing bred and caught specimens from Bexley and the neigh- 

 bourhood, including some very extreme forms, ab. striata, several 

 approaching ab. alba, and several ab. schuridtii (all bred). A series 

 of AijriadeH coridon, including a Royston specimen, a female with 

 male blue scales suffusing the whole of the wings. An aberration 

 of A(jlai& urticae. without the two discal spots {&h. ichnusa^). A 

 fine FAichloe cardamines with the orange blotches very smoky. An 

 underside of Brentlm euplmmjne in which the spots on the 

 submarginal area of the forewing were missing. A varied series 

 of Eplnephele jiirtiua. Dark and light forms of An/ijnnia ar/laia. 

 Colias Injale taken at Eynesford this year. Aricia wedon with 

 white blotches on the margins. Light and dark Varanp- Din/era. 

 Pleheina ae/pni in varied series from Eynesford. 



Mr. w! J. Kaye exhibited two groups of butterflies captured 

 on two days in two different places in Venezuela,
