merely caught what I saw in the forests, it is doubtful if 
a dozen specimens would have been obtained. The 
Bugalla specimens are interesting as they are all very 
light-coloured, like the lightest forms obtaimed by Mr. 
Wiggins at Entebbe and presented by him to the Hope 
Department. They contrast very markedly with the 4 
specimens which were all that I obtained in the forests of 
Damba Island, and were very dark indeed (Proc. Ent. Soc., 
1912, pp. xxii, lxxxvi). 
The form of ewrytus hobleyi mimetic of paragea, namely 
obscura (Plate XXXV, figs. 1, 10, 11, 13-16; XXXVI, 
fig. 13), was the least abundant of all the mimics into 
which this Pseudacraea subdivides, only 7 fully mimetic 
males and 19 such females being obtained. 
The only other known mimic of paragea, namely the 
form peculiaris of Papilio cynorta, I did not obtain, much 
to my disappointment. The species does occur on the 
island, however, for I caught a single male, which is totally 
different in appearance from the female. It would be 
extremely interesting to ascertain whether the island female 
is also much paler than usual, following the model. 
CoMBINATION IV. 
The model is Pl. tellus eumelis (platyxantha), of which the 
male and female are alike (see Plate XXXVI, figs. 5, 6): 
24 males and 9 females were captured. This species 
exhibits in a marked degree the nonchalance of a typical 
model. I spent a long time one evening trying to get a 
photograph of this butterfly on a clump of mauve Com- 
posite flowers, Hrlangea tomentosa, 8. Moore, which were 
extraordinarily attractive to all these butterflies; and 
although it frequently took alarm and flew away, it as 
frequently returned after a very short time. Indeed, I 
could almost have caught it in my hand. 
There is one synaposematic Acraea in this Combination, 
namely A. jodutta, of which 3 males and 6 females of the 
dorotheae form were taken. The resemblance of this latter 
female form to Pl. tellus is extremely close, and until I 
had learnt the generic differences between Acraea and 
Planema I was always confusing the two. The specimens 
showed some variation : in one or two cases the black bar 
between the subapical and inner marginal tawny areas 
on the fore-wing is broken through, forming a variety 
comparable to those of Ps. terra, described on p. 613,
