Africa; they include Teracolus sipylus, Swinh. (the large form 

 of T. casta, Gerst.), a fine series of Mylothris ritbricosta, Mab., 

 two specimens of which were abnormal in venation, two 

 females of a species of Teracolus, at present unnamed, allied 

 to T. lais, Butl., an exceptionally 'dry' specimen of T. achine 

 reared on desiccated food, and other interesting forms. The 

 two fine collections of Pierines made by Dr. Longstaff in the 

 region of the White Nile were worked out and 255 specimens 

 were incorporated during 1912. These included a good series 

 of the rare Calopicris culimciie, whose affinities are still doubt- 

 ful, and of the almost equally rare Teracolus cphyia, Klug. 

 The former of these is new to the Collection, and the latter 

 was only represented by one imperfect specimen. Other 

 specimens incorporated were from collections presented by 

 Mr, E. A. Elliott from Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Mr. J. C. F. 

 Fryer in Aldabra, Dr. R. C. L. Perkins in N. Queensland, 

 Mr. G. F. Leigh in the Comoro Islands, and Rev. J. U. 

 Yonge in Madagascar. Among these the following were new 

 to the Collection : — Teracolus aldabrensis, Delias nigidius, 

 Mylothris ngaziya, Terias desjardinsii" 



At the International Congress of Entomology, Dr. F. A. 

 Dixey read a paper on the Scent-distributing Organs of the 

 Picrinac, and arranged an exhibition which included about 

 two-thirds of the Hope Collection of that Sub-family. Papers 

 on the Pierine genus Pinacopteryx, and on the species of 

 Teracolus allied to T. epliyia were contributed by him to 

 the Proceedings of the Entomological Society of London 

 (see p. 15). 



6. Work on tlic Collection of Acraeiuae, &c. 



Mr. H. Eltringham, M.A., F.Z.S., F.E.S., New College, 

 completed and saw through the press the MS. of his two 

 years' labours on the Acraeiuae. This monograph, occupying 

 the whole of Part I (pp. 1-374) of the Trans. Ent. Soc. for 

 j 9 1 1 , was issued just in time for the Entomological Congress 

 which met in August. The monograph contains sixteen 

 plates, of which six are coloured, and is provided with an 

 index separate from that of the Transactions for the year.
