[Synchloé glauconome, Klug. 
The type is said to have come from “ Arabia deserta, 
in Monte Sinai ad Erigeron denticulatum.” 
Rothschild took it at Aswan and at Shendi [Lat. 16° 42’ 
N.]. Cholmley found it north of Suakin. Col. Yerbury 
reported it as common and generally distributed in the 
Aden district, the larva feeding upon Cleome paradoxa 
[Nat. Ord. Capparidaceae}. 
I have taken it near Cairo, and found it commonly at 
Port Stdan, but have no record for Kharttim, or the 
White Nile. 
Bingham states that it occurs in Persia, Balichistan, 
the Pamirs and the Panjéb. The Hon. Walter Rothschild 
tells me that it occurs on the Sahara. 
Aurivillius (1. p. 414) gives SomAliland on the authority 
of Miss E. M. Sharpe (20. p. 528). In the same work (p. 497) 
he indicates this as one of three Ethiopian species (the 
other two being Acraea doubledayi, Guér., and Teracolus 
chrysonome, Klug) which extend northward into the 
Palaearctic province. However, I should regard glau- 
conome as a Palaearctic species which just enters the north 
of the Ethiopian province. 
Three males yielded a distinct sweet scent like that of 
Freesia. | 
41. Calomeris eulimene, Klug. 
The types (both sexes) of this beautiful local and singular 
butterfly came from Ambukél, a place in the Dongéla 
district, situated on the Nile just below Korti in Lat. 
18° 4’ N. 
In 1909 I took a single specimen, a male, at Burri, the 
eastern suburb of Kharttim, also seven other males at 
Soba on the Blue Nile about twelve miles above Kharttim. 
In 1912 I took a female a little to the north of Sdba 
station on the east bank of the Blue Nile, and, a week later, 
took three males and two females between that spot and 
Kharttm. These were for the most part in poor condition. 
Mr. N. C. Rothschild took a single specimen at Shendi. 
Mr. A. J. Cholmley took five in 1896 at Ambaia Erba, 
north of Suakin. 
Mrs. Waterfield took several at Port Sadan during the 
latter part of 1911 and the beginning of 1912, and I myself 
during the last days of February and first days of March
