its approach to the pattern of leighi, the spot within the cell 

 (undivided) being widely separated from the subapical bar and 

 the latter only connected with the greatly enlarged principal 

 spot (1) by scattered fulvous scales between veins 3 and 4. 

 Below vein 3 the pattern almost precisely reproduces the appear- 

 ance represented in Fig. 3, above referred to, the hippocoon- 

 and frophonius-\ike extension of the pale pattern along the 

 inner margin towards the base of the wing being slightly more 

 evident in the coast specimen. The hind-wing is also hippo- 

 coon-like in the great size of the white patch, which is far 

 larger than in normal specimens of planemoides. 



The occurrence of planemoides on the E. coast, so far from 

 its Planema models, is of high interest, as also is the fact that 

 this, the only specimen hitherto recorded from the area in 

 question, should not be a typical example but one exhibiting 

 several ancestral features. 



The specimen may be compared with another very interest- 

 ing example, captured Sept. 22, 1901, in forest country 

 about ten miles inland from Mombasa, near Changamwe, 

 by Mr. C. A. Wiggins, F.E.S. While the pattern is almost 

 precisely as in the exhibited specimen, the colouring is that 

 of trophonius, or rather of its modification viobe, Auriv. ; for 

 the subapical bar of the fore-wing is fulvous like the other 

 markings. The specimen also lacks the scattered scales 

 connecting the bar with spot (1). The increasing lightness 

 of the markings towards the costa of the fore-wing, spoken 

 of on p. xxxix, is well marked. Except for this change the 

 fulvous colouring is of a uniform pale shade like that of the 

 xliv] 



trophonius (and viobe) of P. dardanus tibullus and dardanus 

 dardanus — a shade very different from the richer, deeper 

 fulvous of planemoides. 



Heredity in the Female Forms of Hypolimnas misippus. 

 — Professor Poulton exhibited a series of thirty-five females 

 of the type form, together with their female pai-ent, of the 

 inaria form, captured Aug. 15, 1910, by Rev. K. St. Aubyn 

 Rogers, M.A., F.E.S., at Rabai, near Mombasa. The males 

 were liberated and the females emerged from the pupa on the
