developed. The T. regularis caughl in July are "dry," 

 though not markedly so; those captured from Nov. 23 to 

 Dec. 10 show a gradually increasing wet-season coloration. 

 July examples of T. hecabe are "dry"; a December male is 

 transitional, but a female captured on Dec. 31 is conspicuously 

 " dry." ( >n the other hand, a pair taken on Jan. 1 is " wet " 

 in both sexes. In Teracolus regina, Trim., the dry-season 

 character is maintained in July. In December and January 

 it is replaced by the wet. Not much seasonal difference is 

 observable in Catopsilia florella, or in Teracolus ducissa; in 

 T. casta, however, the change is marked. The dry-season 

 character prevails throughout July; in October it begins to 

 yield; from November to the following January the wet- 

 season coloration is fully established. The specimens of 

 T. achine were taken in December; they are all of the full 

 wet -season phase. The same applies to the single example 

 of Teracolus annae, Wallgrn. (caught in November). Two 

 July specimens of T. eris, King, are " dry." the remainder 

 (November and December) arc "wet." Belenois severina 

 (July) is " dry." Other forms of Belenois I reserve for 

 treatment on a future occasion. 



Another consignment of Pierines from Capt. Carpenter 

 comes from St. Michael's Mission, in Lat. 32° 45' E., Long. 

 3° 45' S. The earliest date for these specimens is Aug. 21, 

 the latest is Oct. 12. Capt. Carpenter notes, " Dry season 

 till Light rains in early October." 



The Teracolus callidia, T. incretus, T. evagone and T. achine 

 were all taken in August, and in all the dry-season character 

 is well marked; as it is also in T. era rue and T. annae 

 (October). Terias brigitta (Aug. and Sept.) and Belenois gidica 

 (Sept. and Oct.). The August and September Teracolus 

 rogersi are " dry," the October specimen is " wet." All the 

 T. casht except one $ were captured in August. The latter 

 (Oct. < s ) shows an approach to the wet-season phase; the 

 remainder are all *' dry." It will be seen that in this series 

 of Pierines the correspondence of seasonal phases with (apt. 

 Carpenter's note of seasonal conditions is remarkably close, 

 so far as the material goes. The " light rains " that began in 

 early October are immediately accompanied by a slight but
