 *Thestor ballus, F. (Spain, 1913). 8 ^ J were examined: all had 

 a scent, not very strong, compared sometimes to chocolate, sometimes 

 to "chocolate sweets" (i.e., with a vanilla element). 4 ? ? appeared 

 to be scentless. 



PAPILIONID^]. 



PlERIN^. 



Gatopsilia florella, F. (Sudan, 1912). The strong luscious scent 

 of the $ was confirmed, 



Ehabdodryas trite, L. (Dominica, 1913). The only specimen 

 taken, <§ , yielded a " sweet pleasant scent ; not so strong or luscious 

 as C. unhide" confirming Fritz Miiller. 



Phcebis agarithe, Bsd. (St. Lucia, 1913). A pair had a " strong 

 fetid butyric odour" ; ? emitted by the ? • 



Callidryas eubule, L. (West Indies, Trinidad and Venezuela, 

 1913). The strong luscious scent of the ^.compared by me to Freesia 

 but by a friend to carnation, was amply confirmed, as was also the 

 butyric odour of the $ . 



Gonepteryx rhamni, L., and G. cleopatra, L. (Spain, 1913). These 

 butterflies were found flying together at Ronda, Andalusia, in March. 



9 £ cleopatra were examined : in all a scent was found ; in one it 

 was described as " -very slight," in another as " decided, but not very 

 strong," in four as " strong " ; in 8 out of the 9 it was unhesitatingly 

 compared to that of Freesia. 



8 ^ rhamni were examined : in 5 I was unable to detect any 

 trace of scent, either during life or after death, but in the other 3 the 

 living insects had a very faint scent, which I could not clearly describe, 

 but in each case noted that it was not that of Freesia. 



These results are in complete accordance with those obtained in 

 Algeria in March, 1905. 



It would, however, appear that I paid little or no attention to the 

 female Gonepteryx in Algeria, although I sent home four specimens, 

 of which three may be referred to cleopatra, the fourth probably to 



rhamni. 



But at Eonda I examined 9 ? ? f a n seemingly referable to 

 cleopatra, and was not a little surprised to find a scent in all of them :
