its $$ % offspring, all of which were of the type or misippus 

 form — a result that can only be explained by supposing 

 that the inaria ? parent had paired with a o 71 carrying the 

 tendencies of misippus and that misippus is a Mendelian 

 dominant. The result of the experiment is published in 

 Proc. Ent. Soc, 191 1, p. xliv. The material of an experi- 

 ment upon a company of larvae of Belenois severina is also 

 included, 7 <x* and 2 ? being reared from larvae fed on young 

 leaves, 15 o^ and 8 $ from larvae fed on old leaves ; both sets 

 were accidentally starved Sept. 15-17. Those fed on the old 

 leaves grew more slowly than the others and were stunted. 

 A single Teracolus, reared (Sept. 6) from a larva fed on old 

 dry leaves, was also included, together with a wild example 

 of the same species for the purpose of comparison. 



191 1 — twenty-four moths, including 1 Weymeria athene — 

 an Agaristid mimic of Cartaletis, 84 butterflies, including 

 1 0* Charaxes bohemanni, 7 0* 1 ? Ps. trimenii (the o*s 

 forming a transition into the western form as regards the 

 absence of the orange subapical bar to the fore wing), 1 pair 

 Neptidopsis platyptera (capt. in cop.), 2 Acraea cuva, 1 A. 

 zonata, 1 ? A. satis, 4 o 7 ' 1 ? Hypolycaena sp. near buxtoni, 



1 Spindasis kallimon, 1 lolaus lalos, 1 Virachola dariaves, 



2 Teriomima micra, 1 T. subpunctata, 2 Lycaenesthes adherbal, 

 1 pair Phrissura lasti (capt. in cop), 1 Phrissura nag are, 1 0^ 

 1 ? Ter. daira, 2 Pap. kirbyi, 1 a* P. dardanus tibullus, 1 

 Gorgyra joJinstoni. Also an Asilid fly and its prey, a Coreid 

 bug. Furthermore, the specimens from Rabai included 2 ? 

 parents of the type form of Hypolnnnas misippus together 

 with their ? offspring — 16 all of the type form in one family, 

 37 of the type form and 17 of the inaria form in the other 

 family. These results were published in the Proc. Ent. Soc, 

 1 91 2, pp. lxxiii-lxxiv. For the bionomic series there were 

 also included iLibythea, and 20^5 and 3 ? s of Crenis, migrating, 

 March 31, 191 1, owing to excessive drought and thus brought 

 into the Rabai district, in which they are not normally found 

 (Proc. Ent. Soc, 1912, pp. xcviii-xcix). Also Amauris niavius 

 dominicanus with its mimics H. wahlbergi and the hippocoon ? 

 of dardanus captured together May 27 ; 1 Amauris ocJilea,
