and Massaga sp. ? {Agaristidae), Hypochrosis massagaria, 

 Karsch (Geometridae), and Otnmatothelxis grandis, Druce

2. An example of resemblance which is not mimetic, seen 

 in Scoriopsis infumata, Warr., from Peru, a .Geometrid 

 bearing a strong likeness to a species of Lymantriidae from 

 Angola. 



3. A mimetic group from Dutch New Guinea. — Species of 

 Tellervo, which are essentially Danaine in character, probably 

 serving as models for the (^ of the Satyrine, Drusillojms 

 dohertyi, Ob., and with which is associated the black and 

 white Neptis. Another resemblance appears to exist between 

 the $ of D. dohertyi and species of Hya)itis and Taenaris 

 belonging to the Amathusiidae. 



4. Two forms of Tellervo from the Island of Misol. This 

 is further confirmatory evidence of the existence of at least 

 two species in this puzzling genus. Fruhstorfer and Van 

 Eecke have declared their opinions that only one species 

 exists, but Lord Rothscliild has noticed the occurrence of 

 two forms from one locality in the Snow Mountains, Dutch 

 New Guinea, and Mr. Joicey has received two forms from Biak 

 Island. 



5. Papilio erlaces, with its races, including a new race 

 from North Peru, and showing the mimetic 2 of P. harinodius, 

 Doubl., from the same district. 



Birds capturing butterflies on the wing at Oxford. — 

 Prof. PouLTON said that on the previous day (June 5) Mr. 

 H. Britten had seen a swallow capture a Lycaenid butterfly. 

 It was rather a curious coincidence that the observation was 

 made from a window in the Hope Department, where so 

 much attention had been devoted to this subject. The 

 dodging flight of the butterfly made its capture difficult even 

 for such a bird as the swallow, which only succeeded at the 

 third attempt. The Lycaenid was bright blue and flying 

 high opposite the window, in the afternoon. The bird was a 

 male. 



Prof. Poulton said that, after the above note had been 

 written, as he was bicycling to the Museum that morning, 

 a bird darted from out a garden and struck a Pierine, flpng
