A. admatha with their respective pupa-cases, and, for the 

 bionomic series, a ? A. zetes, which was seized and then 

 dropped by a lizard. 



The Acraeinae collected in the Entebbe district in 1909-11, 

 and presented by C. A. Wiggins, Esq., M.R.C.S., F.E.S., 

 D.P.M.O. of the Uganda Protectorate, were, with the ex- 

 ception of those set aside for the bionomic series, catalogued 

 under their separate years and incorporated in the collection. 

 For 1909, 123 specimens were incorporated; for 1910, 100; 

 for 191 1, 11. In order to avoid repetition all are gratefully 

 acknowledged under a single year — 1911. Among the species 

 are A. pentapolis, admatha leucographa, insignis, caccilia, 

 viviana, orina,pelasgias, scmivitrea, orestia, qtiirinalis, perenna, 

 and altJioffi. The series includes a single o 77 of Planema 

 aganice montana, which, although very rare, just enters the 

 district from its metropolis in the East. It is hoped that 

 the remainder of the splendid collection presented by the 

 generous donor will soon be incorporated. 



The following additions to the bionomic series were pre- 

 sented by C. F. M. Swynnerton, Esq. The specimens were 

 taken in 1911 on the outskirts of Chirinda forest, Gazaland, 

 S.E. Rhodesia : — a hippocoon % of P. dardamts, taken by a 

 native collector (Sept. 8) from a M'lanje Bulbul (the head 

 was wanting, and the wings showed symmetrical injuries 

 similar to those often seen in living butterflies) ; the wings of 

 the dry-season form of Precis archesia and the fragments 

 of a cockroach, Deropeltis sp., taken (June 25) from a spider's 

 web. These examples are recorded in Proc. Ent. Soc, 1911, 

 pp. lxxii-lxxiii. 



Seven butterflies from Kibigori, about 20 miles E. of 

 Kisumu, British East Africa, and an example of the rare 

 Danaine butterfly Amauris ansorgei (June 18), Uganda Rail- 

 way, high up on the Mau Escarpment, were presented by the 

 captor, W. M. Griess, Esq. The needs of the Hope Depart- 

 ment were kindly brought to the notice of the donor by 

 Rev. C. F. Thornewill, M.A. 



Thirteen butterflies from various African localities were 

 presented by the late Herbert Druce, Esq., F.L.S.
