have most likely similar habits, and resemblances would more 

 easily be developed between them than between either of 

 them and an Agaristid. The production of a dimorphic $ 

 in the Bordeta seems to indicate long and close association 

 with the form {Eucharidema) which we see resembles it. If 

 the mimetic interi:)retation is in any way correct, we can 

 prophesy that an Eucharidema with an orange band on the 

 fore- wing will be discovered in Burn.

Further Examples of Heodes phlaeas ethiopioa from 

 S.W. Uganda. — Dr. Eltringham showed eleven specimens, 

 all males, of this geographical race of H. phlaeas L., recently 

 sent to Prof. Poulton by Dr. G. D. H. Carpenter. All had 

 been taken at 6000-7000 ft., in Rukiga County, Kigezi District, 

 in the extreme S.W. corner of Uganda, on the floor or along 

 the E. border of the Western Rift Valley. Dr. Carpenter 

 had visited this area in 1916, and his description of it was 

 published in Proc. Ent. Soc. for that year, pp. cxv-cxxii. 

 The exhibited specimens were taken as follows : — • 



Aiuiust 22, 1922.— Near Kabale, about 6000 ft.— 2. 



August 30, 1922.— Lake Bunyoni, about 6600 ft.— 1. 



September 7, 1922. — Chahafi : a marsh on the E. side of 

 the floor of the Western Rift Valley, about 6500 ft.— 1.
