In this paper Mr. D'Abreu has given us a careful enumeration of Mr, Fletcher, 

 the actual insects found in all the birds which occur commonly in the 

 Central Provinces. Work of this sort is tedious and difficult and there 

 is a great deal of room for more work on the same lines, all over India. 

 The only similar work done jjreviously was that done by Mr. Mason and 

 published in Volume III of our Entomological Memoirs. I notice that 

 Mr. D'Abreu has found no butterflies (or at least no identifiable remains) 

 in any of his birds. The question of the attack on butterflies by birds 

 is one in which we reqiure further records, especially in connection with 

 the subject of mimicry, warning coloration, directive markings and so on. 

 All exact records of this sort are very usefid and become more so as they 

 accumulate.
