green juice exuded from a male specimen appeared to me to 

 have an odour like that of a crushed cabbage leaf, which was 

 by no means unpleasant. 



" Both sexes of Acnxa alboradiata, Auriv., have a, distinct 

 odour which is described _ by Dr. Longstaff as ' musty ' and 

 ' like old hay.' The female was independently noted by me as 

 smelling like musty straw. 



"The scent of Acroea anemosa, Hew., seems to vary greatly 

 in strength in different individuals. One of the males tested 

 by me had no apparent odour. Another male and a female 

 both smelt strongly of damp, fusty straw. Dr. Longstaff's 

 specimens, all males, gave a ' musty ' odour of varying intensity, 

 Mr. Marshall {loc. cit.) states that A. anemosa ' emits a very 

 strong smell when pinched, being the only Acra;a in which I 

 have noticed this, though possibly acara does the same.' 



" No odour was perceptible in the wings or crushed thorax 

 of Acreea caJdra, Hopffi. $ . Mr. Marshall (^ibid.) reports that 

 he was unable to detect any trace of bitterness or acridity in 

 this species. 



" Dr. Longstaff found a slight snuft'y scent in the male of 

 Acnea encedou, Linn., and an evanescent disagreeable odour, 

 not very strong, in the female when crushed. The yellow juice 

 of this species is said by Mr. Marshall to be slightly bitter, 

 but not very markedly so. 



^' Ac)'a;a douhledayi, Guer. c?, emits a yellow juice which 

 on one occasion seemed to me to be scentless. In another 

 male I detected a slight fusty odour. Dr. Longstaff reports 

 an ' old hay ' scent on crushing, in both male and female, 



" Both sexes of Acrcea atolmis, Westw., were found by Dr. 

 Longstaff to possess a faint odour, which, however, he does not 

 describe. I did not examine the female, but a male specimen 

 appeared to me to be scentless. 



" The smell of musty straw was very dibtinct in a female 

 specimen of Acrsea caldarena, Hew. It was only slightly 

 apparent in a male examined by Dr. Longstaff. 



" In Acrsea atergatis, Westw., I found that the same musty 

 odour was accompanied by a strong ammoniacal scent, like 

 that of stable-litter. 



" Both sexes of Amauris echeria, Boisd. (form albimaculata,
