far the most probable enemies unless there is evidence of 

 the attacks of a mantis (possible but not likely in the 

 example represented in this figure). 

 Fig. 6. Tarucus plinius ^ , March 11, 1899. Flies at medium pace, 

 settles on bushes and low trees, birds the probable 

 enemies. The injury moreover suggests a bird. 



7. Hiipolycsena pliilippits t^ , Marcli 11, 1899. Habits and 



conclusions as in the last figure. These two Lycaenids 

 and many other butterflies will ."r^ettle on the ground in 

 damp spots to drink, but Mr. Marshall has not seen 

 lizards in such places. 



8. Papilio demodocvs ^ , March 2, 1901. Flies rapidly, settling 



on flowering bushes ; probable enemies mantides or birds ; 

 lizards improbable. Character of injury suggests posterior 

 part of both hind- wings shorn oft' while at rest by a 

 bird. 



9. P. demodocns ^, Jan. 24, 1901. Same conclusion as in 



last figure. 



10. Cluouxes acheemenes 5 , March 6, 1898. See description of 



Fig. 5. 



11. Gatochrysops pavshnon $, Jan. 25, 1899. Very rapid 



flight, settling on ground and low veldt flowers and at 

 night resting on grass-stems. Lizards probable enemies, 

 but the character of the injury suggests a bird. 



12. Axiocerces harpax ^, March 3, 1899. Habits and con- 



clusions as in Figs. 6 and 7.

15. C. guderiana $ , March 6, 1898. In this and the two 



preceding figures, see description of Fig. 5. 

 IC. Uranothauma pocigei ^, Jan. 1901. A woodland species 

 flying at medium pace and settling on low flowers. Birds 

 probable enemies.

clusions as in Figs. 6 and 7. Probably seized at rest with 

 wings closed.
