484 Mr. W. A. Lamborn on the 
orifice was not indicated by special pigmentation. No 
tubercles were extruded when I tickled the larva, but on 
one occasion only a drop of fluid—tasteless to me—exuded 
from the orifice of the gland.” One ant, Odontomachus 
haematodes, L., was in attendance on the larva. I have 
not before noted the association of any ant of this genus 
with Lycaenids. 
Emergence before 10 a.m., Feb. 5. 
No. 640. A male butterfly was bred from a larva found 
in the forest near Oni Clearing, on Jan. 28, 1912. Ten ants 
were in attendance [identified by Prof. Forel as C. buchneri 
alligatrix. Mr. W. C. Crawley and Mr. A. H. Hamm, after 
a careful examination, are convinced that one out of the 
ten is a typical example of the race winkleri]. On the 
evening of Jan. 28, three P. rotundata, var., were taken off 
the larva in the house. The following note, dated Feb. 5, 
refers to this larva :— 
‘The dorsal gland was seen, but no tubercles. I watched 
house-ants on the larva with a hand-lens, and actually 
saw one drink up fluid from the gland.” 
Emergence, Feb. 5. 
No. 651. A female specimen was bred from a larva found 
in the forest $ mile E., on Jan. 27,1912. Seven ants were 
in attendance. [Of these 3 bear Prof. Forel’s determina- 
tion C. buchneri alligatriv and 4 his determination C. 
buchnert winkleri. All bear the number “651.” Mr. 
W. C. Crawley and Mr. A. H. Hamm, after examining 
these specimens and comparing them with Prof. Forel’s 
descriptions, conclude that the 4 labelled winkleri are, 
although intermediate, nearer to alligatriz. | 
Pupation, Jan. 31; emergence, Feb. 8.

The associated ant was Pheidole rotundata, var. 
No. 579, A—F. Two male and 4 female butterflies. The 
note dated Jan. 8, 1912, refers to these as follows :— 
“The larvae of these 6 Lycaenids were found in the 
forest 4 mile E., Dec. 28, 1911. They were all close 
together on the new shoots of a broken stem, but they were 
non-gregarious. They were attended by P. rotundata, 
var., but I was obliged to collect all the attendant ants 
in one box, so that it will not be possible to arrange par- 
ticular groups with their original Lycaenids.” ‘Twenty-one 
P. rotundata were labelled ‘‘ in attendance,” 18 “‘ on other
