Inrropuctory Note by Prof. E. B. Poulton. 
Tue following memoir was written by the author at 
various times between September 1912 and April 1913. 
The work was done in the Hope Department, where the 
specimens, which had already been mounted and labelled, 
were compared with the records of original observations 
made in Southern Nigeria. If Mr. Lamborn had not been 
so greatly pressed he would have entirely completed the 
memoir, but there was so much to be done during his last 
visit home that he was not able to put the finishing touches 
to the paper or to verify his account by a second com- 
parison between specimens and manuscript. I have now, 
however, been through the whole of it and verified all 
the data. All additions or comments of my own, except 
mere verbal alterations, will be found under separate 
headings with my initials, or within square brackets. 
Many of the latter passages are also signed by my initials. 
From the dates which are freely quoted in the body of 
the memoir it will be seen that Mr. Lamborn made his 
observations between September 1911 and the end of 
July 1912, when he sailed for England. A few earlier 
observations on the same subject, already published, are 
referred to under the respective species. 
The author’s collecting ground—Oni Camp, 70 miles 
East of Lagos—is at a low elevation, never more than 
50 ft. above sea-level. The bush has been cleared in the 
immediate neighbourhood, but around the camp, at the 
time when Mr. Lamborn collected, were large tracts of 
primitive forest, in which, unless otherwise stated, it may 
be assumed that the captures were made. All precise 
distances such as “‘1 mile E.,” etc., refer to localities in 
the forest at various distances to the Kast of Oni Camp.
