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

 W. 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 

 perfection. 



It was obvious that the lateral extension of the pupal 

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

 than in dryope. Mr. Lamborn had also bred considei-able 

 families — of dryoioe twice, and hiarhas once — from known 

 female parents. The dryope parents produced nothing but 

 dryope^ the hiarhas nothing but hiarhas. It was therefore 

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

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

 Leigh's records of their capture wi coitu in JSTatal (Proc. Eut. 

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

 repeat Mr. Lamborn's investigations in this part of the 

 continent. 



Further Captures of Pseudacraeas, etc., on Damba 

 Island, near Entebbe, by Dr. G. D. H. Carpenter. — Pro- 

 fessor PouLTON exhibited specimens captured on Dec. 3, 10, 

 and 17, 1911, by Dr. Carpenter, in the primitive forest which 

 still exists in the centre of Daml)a Island. The following 

 notes and observations had been received from Dr. Carpenter— 



" Dec. 3, 1911. 



"I had svich an extraordinarily interesting morning's 

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

 straight away, for your bionomic series, 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 I went into the forest proper, and was 

 well repaid. It was a fine morning— the second after nearly 

 a fortnight of dull wet weather — and butterflies were numer- 

 ous. The ones I send you are only those of the mimetic 

 associations ; — the others (including some Lycaenids and a 

 Hesperid I have not sent befoi-e) will follow in ordinary 

 course. I was collecting from 9.15 a.m. to 1.15 p.m. up and 

 down a game-track for about the length of half a mile."
