660 Dr. G. D. Hale Carpenter on the inheritance of 
ofispring, as shown in 32, 33 and 28. (See also Proc. Ent. 
Soc., 1912, p. cxxxil.) 
(2) The same area is also of a different shape in the two 
parents, being rounded in KH, squarish in D, differences 
that are clearly recognisable in their respective offspring 
as shown on Plate XL. 
(3) The triangular white patch on the inner margin 
of the fore-wing is larger, has a more flattened apex, and 
a longer base in D and its 14 offspring, than in A (fig. 1) 
and its 14 offspring. 
(4) Of the two small spots at the costal end of the sub- 
apical white bar crossing the fore-wing, the basal one is 
minute and the outer large in A and most of its offspring, 
while in none of them is the basal spot as large as the outer. 
In E on the other hand the basal spot is relatively large 
and the outer absent: in 6 out of its 7 offspring the 
basal spot is relatively large as compared with nearly all 
the offspring of A; while in one (fig. 33) this feature 
is nearly as in the parent, although the outer spot is repre- 
sented by a small dot. In the planemoides parent (Plate 
XXXIX, fig. 1) and most of its offspring these two spots 
are about equal in size, and in only one (fig. 11) is there 
a wide difference between them. 
(5) Other features peculiar to the families, but unrecog- 
nisable in the parents, because of their poor condition, are 
also almost certainly hereditary. To this category belong 
figs. 10, 12, 13, and 14, in which the white area on the hind- 
wing is increased by a circumferential greyish extension, 
giving to the outline a peculiar and characteristic appear- 
ance (Proc. Ent. Soc., 1912, pp. xvi, xvil). 
Measurement of all the specimens of hippocodn in the 
Hope Department (242) produced interesting results. 
The West African type is represented by one from Cape Coast 
Castle, one from “Tropical W. Africa’? (Doncaster), 
3 from “‘ W. Africa” (Saunders), and 77 (38 shown on 
Plate XL) caught or bred by Mr. W. A. Lamborn in the 
vicinity of Lagos. The average ratio of the spot to the 
cell in these 82 specimens is 64 °4—individuals going as 
low as 44 °% and as high as 86 °%, with every intermediate 
grade. 
Passing eastward we come to the Western Uganda 
specimens with which I have included those from a few 
localities much further east, but always westward of
