EURYTELA DRYOPE, CRAMER, SHOWN TO BE DISTINCT FROM E. 



hiarbas, Drury, by W. A. Lam born. — Professor Poulton

 exhibited examples of the above-named species, bred by Mr. 

 "YV. A. Lamborn in the Lagos district. The cases of the 

 pupae from which the butterflies had emerged were also ex- 

 hibited, and retained their original form with a high degree of 

 perfect ion. 



It was obvious that the lateral extension of the pupal 

 wings, as seen from a dorsal view, was greater in hiarbas 

 than in dryope. Mr. Lamborn had also bred considerable 

 families — of dryope twice, ami hiarbas once — from known 

 female parents. The dryope parents produced nothing but 

 dryope^ the hiarbas nothing but hiarbas. It was therefore 

 almost certain that the two forms were distinct species, at any 

 rate in the Lagos district, although in view of Mr. G. F. 

 Leigh's records of their capture )'// coitu in Natal (Proc. Ent, 

 Soc, 1909, pp. xxxv, xxxvi) it would be of much interest to 

 repeat Mr. I. tinhorn's investigations in this part of the 

 continent.

"I had such an extraordinarily interesting morning's 

 collecting to-day, that I am sending some of the specimens 

 straight away, for your bionomie scries, to show that models 

 and mimics do fly together. 



" Within the last few weeks I have found a way of getting 

 into the primitive, untouched forest in the centre of the 

 island. Hitherto I have only collected in the 'jungle' 

 formed by the overgrown banana plantations at the edge of 

 the island. To-day 1 went into the forest proper, and was
