33, 38), writes : " I cannot recall ever having seen Crenido- 

 mimas settle on a tree-trunk, though the blue species of 

 Crenis, of course, do so often — generally rather high up. Most 

 of my examples of Cremdomimas that I caught settled were 

 on damp sand. As Carpenter says, they may often be seen 

 on the tips of boughs." [The suggestion contained in this 

 paragraph has now been submitted to Capt. Carpenter, who 

 has replied that the first Crenidomimas taken by him (at 

 Namirembe Bay, July 27, 1916) was certainly settled, head 

 downwards, on a tree-trunk, and that at Lulanguru these 

 butterflies were captured at the flowers of a Papilionaceous 

 tree as well as on branches and tree-trunks.] 



The Lulanguru collection contains 17 concordia — 1 o and 

 3 $$ taken July 26-27, 12 3S and 1 ? between Nov. 19 and 

 Dec. 17. Six of the specimens are injured, probably in most 

 cases at least by enemies. It has already been stated (p. cxiii) 

 that a single example of the model Crenis pechueli was taken 

 on Nov. 26. A $ concordia was captured on the following 

 day, a <$ on Nov. 28, and another on Nov. 29. The 

 occurrence of Crenis pechueli at Lulanguru extends its range 

 considerably to the N. and E.. the localities given by Auxi- 

 villius in Seitz being Congo [probably only the S.E. of the 

 State], Angola, Ovamboland, and Upper Zambesi. 



Mr. Neave writes: " C. concordia is a more widely spread 

 insect, both in time and space, than the blue Crenis. The 

 latter are not only decidedly local, but are only on the wing 

 for a relatively short time. On the other hand, when they 

 do occur they are much more numerous than I have ever seen 

 ('. concordia. I know of many places in Xyasaland where 

 the latter is not uncommon but where the Crenis are absent. 

 On the other hand, Carpenter can hardly be Mire that the 

 Crenis are not present in his locality until he has spent a 

 whole cycle of the seasons there." 



In addition to the concordia from Lulanguru, (apt. Car- 

 penter took a S on July 27, 1916, at Namirembe Bay at the 

 S.W. corner of the Victoria Nvan/a. and a o and Aug. 8 I I. 

 1916, at about 32° 20' E., 3° 20' S. The two latter resemble 

 the Lulanguru series, but the first and most northern differs 

 in exhibiting an orange-ochreous wedge in area 6 of the fore-
