males of Mylothris spica, Mosch., and M. poppea, Cr., closely 

 resembled by the males of Pinacopteryx dixeyi, Neave, and 

 Phrissura sylvia, F., respectively — associations described many 

 years ago by Mr. S. A. Neave (Trans. Ent. Soc, 1906, p. 221) 

 and Dr. F. A. Dixey (Proc. Ent. Soc, 1907, p. xviii). The 

 pattern at Kakindu consisted of a white ground-colour with 

 black marginal spots, a large orange flush at the base of the 

 fore-wing and a much smaller one at the base of the hind-wing 

 costa. This latter marking in some species formed a narrow 

 costal streak varying in length in different forms, or in varieties 

 of the same species. The black apex of the fore-wing upper 

 side was also more or less obscurely visible on the under — 

 especially so in Phrissura sylvia. Other Kakindu species 

 exhibiting modifications of the same pattern were the males 

 of Mylothris agathina, Cr., with smaller marginal spots, 

 orange of a deeper tint, and exposed ground-colour yellow 

 instead of white, mimicked by some males of Pinacopteryx 

 pigea, Boisd., with still smaller spots, smaller flush of the same 

 deep tint, and paler yellow ground-colour; the male Gluto- 

 phrissa epaphia, Cr., without the spots, but with orange 

 flush like that of the first-named four species and ground- 

 colour only slightly yellower than these; the male Phrissura 

 phoebe, Butl., with smaller spots, linear flush on the hind- 

 wing only, and nearly white ground-colour; the commonest 

 forms of male Pinacopteryx pigea, with spots and hind-wing 

 flush evanescent and faint greenish or yellowish ground- 

 colour. 



Although Dr. Carpenter's specimens were always accom- 

 panied by the most excellent data, the fact of capture at 

 mud was not specially recorded. We knew, however, from 

 Mr. C. A. Wiggins's specimens from Jinja, that P. pigea had 

 this habit, for 17 out of the 153 butterflies belonged to this 

 species. Furthermore, Dr. Carpenter had written that on 

 February 19 he had " visited a small puddle of water where 

 many butterflies congregate and got some nice Pierines " 

 (Proceedings, 1915, p. Ixix). Among the butterflies captured 

 on Kakindu plain and bearing this date were the following 

 male Pierines : 1 M. agathina, 3 P. pigea, 1 G. epaphia, 

 2 P. phoebe. The pool was again visited on February 20
