subject of the greatest interest now that Capt. Carpenter has 

 discovered the appearance of its new form on the borders 

 of the very region where chrysippus is mainly replaced by 

 dorippus. The distribution of the type form of poggei, as 

 given by Aurivillius in "Seitz" (vol. xiii, p. I!»7), is Angola, 

 Southern Congo and Rhodesia, a summary in every way 

 confirmed by the following data kindly supplied by Lord 

 Rothschild, Mr. S. A. Neave and Mr. J. J. Joicey, as well as 

 by the material in the Hope Department. 



Angola. — At Tring, 13: collected by Dr. Ansorge, Mjene 

 Indale, 2 (also 3 at Witley) ; Guimbungo, 2; Samba Acenda, 2; 

 Mikenge, 1; Makweha, 1; Marimba, 1; BangNgola, 1; Camba 

 Caquenje, 2; Katole, Jinga Country, N. Centr. Angola, 1. 



At Tring also from the following localities: Loanda, 1 

 (ex Homeyer Coll., co-type); Ceramba, Bihe, 1 (W. C. Bell); 

 Bihe, 3 (Edw. Sanders): also 3 at Witley. 



Quoted by Roland Trimen in P.Z.S., 1891, p. 79 : Omrora, 

 Ambuella Country, 1 (Erikson); Central Angola (Pogge), 2. 



Among the above examples of the type a single one, 

 from Ceramba, Bihe, is a faithful mimic of a J), chrysippus 

 with hind-wing pattern intermediate between the type and 

 alcippus. 



S. Congo State and N.E. Rhodesia. — Mr. S. A. Neave 

 has kindly added the following account of the distribution of 

 1'. poggei in the above area, in amplification of his brief note 

 in Proc. Zool. Soc, 1910, p. 35: "I have been looking up 

 my notes on Pseudacraea poggei. I should describe it as by 

 no means uncommon throughout Northern Katanga (in the 

 southern portion of the Congo State), and the plateau of 

 N.E. Rhodesia N. of a line somewdiere about the S. end of 

 L. Bangweolo. In my experience it does not occur on the 

 Zambesi side of the watershed, though I should not be sur- 

 prised to hear of it being found in Northern Nyasaland. I 

 have an idea that 1 have seen or heard of examples from the 

 Karonga district of Nyasaland. i. e. the extreme N. of the 

 protectorate, and one would expect it round the shores of 

 Tanganyika." 



The following account of the model and co-mimics of 

 P. poggei was published by Mr. Neave in his memoir " Butter-
