Dr. Dixey has made the following notes on some of the 

 most interesting species in the fine series of British East 

 African Pierinae in the above collection. 



Pinacopteryx liliana. A good specimen of the somewhat 

 unusual yellow form of the female. 



Pinacopteryx simana. There is a good deal of confusion 

 about this species, which is quite distinct from P. liliana, 

 though often mixed up with it in collections. There is no 

 P. simana ? , identified as such, in Coll. Brit. Mus. Godart's 

 type of P. doxo, which has been supposed to be identical with 

 P. venata, Butl., is probably a pale specimen of P. simana ? . 



Tcracolus clgoncnsis. A fine series of a remarkable and not 

 very common species of Tcracolns. 



Tcracolus daira. These are of the deeply-marked E. African 

 form, T. hcuglini, sometimes ranked as a distinct species. 



Teracolus celimene. A link between the "purple-tips" of 

 Africa and the black-and-ycllow T. protomedia of N.E. Africa 

 and Arabia. 



Mylothris narcissus. An interesting form of the protected 

 genus Mylothris. This species represents M. trimenia of 

 S. Africa, and serves as a model for Phrissura lasti. 



Belenois margaritacea. This species, with the closely-allied 

 />'. raj'frayi. though belonging to the family of " Whites ", 

 shows, in the resting position, nothing but a uniform black. 



The following relatively small, but important, part of the 

 very fine collection from the Lagos District, presented by 

 \Y. A. Lamborn, Esq., has been catalogued and incorpo- 

 rated : — 



(1) Two families of Hypolimnas dinarcha, together with 

 their female parents, captured, March 27 and 29, 1912, in the 

 forest E. of Oni Camp. One family consisted of 76 a* and 

 61 ? , the other of 26 0* and 46 ? offspring. There was distinct 

 evidence of the inheritance of certain slight differences between 

 the patterns of the two parents. The precise pupa-cases are
