Westw., were taken : a <$ harpax bears the note " Oct. 26 3 

 1917. Settled on me to drink sweat."] 1 have not seen any 

 of those lovely light bine species with long milky white tails : 

 I think they require forest and nut open bush." 



Probably the most interesting Lycaenid from Lulanguru is 

 Alaena interposita, But]., of which a long series of both sexes 

 was sent. It is certainly the species described and figured 

 as A. hauttecoeuri by Oberthiir in " Etudes," 12, p. 7, pi. 3, 

 figs. 7 and 9 (1888). The figures are, as usual in this great 

 work, admirable, and the examples described were from 

 Tabora, only 17 miles from Lulanguru. It is unfortunate 

 that Butler's interposita, described in 1883 from a single 

 nearly female-coloured male from Victoria Nyanza, should 

 take precedence over Oberthur's name accompanying the 

 description and figures of the typical form. Aurivillius in 

 " Rhop. Ethiop.," p. 255, is mistaken in sinking Butler's 

 Alaena aurantiaca — a very different species — to the male of 

 hauttecoeuri. 



Two of Captain Carpenter's examples of the yellow male 

 bear interesting notes : " Oct. 24, 1917. Acraeine mimic. 

 When unalarmed flight looks like small Acraea." " Oct. 27. 

 On stony kopje where long dry grass. Flight slow and 

 fluttering like Acraeine on wing. One specimen was bottled 

 as it sat on grass stem ! ! " 



I take the present opportunity to correct the unfortunate 

 slip by which Telipna reticulata is quoted in place of Alaena 

 reticulata, in Proc. Ent. Soc, 1916, p. cxxv, 1. 4, and in the 

 footnote. Furthermore, comparison with the o type of 

 A. reticulata in the British Museum proves that Capt. Car- 

 penter's specimen does not belong to this but to a species at 

 present undetermined. 



'" Hesperidae. — Are fairly abundant. One ( \ Sarangesa) is 

 new to me. Of dark mottled grey, it rests on the bare granite 

 rock, flat, with wings outspread like a Geometrid, ami is as 

 equally procryptic as the moths on bark. I have sent one 

 or two specimens." 



An example of Sarangesa motozioides, Boll., Nov. 7, 1917, 

 bears a note similar to the above. Four examples of Eagris 

 jamesoni, E. M. Sh., of July 26-27, 2 of Aug. 1, and 1 of
