The same letter also contained the following notes on the 

 habits and occurrence of species entering as models or mimics 

 into the great Planema-centved combinations of Uganda. 



" Planema paragea, Grose-Smith. In deep shade. It flies 

 very feebly, though if struck at and missed it is active. 



" Planema macarista, E. M. Sharpe, should appear in the 

 list, but I did not catch any to-day. A little while ago I saw 

 its larva there, so it does exist in that same locality. 



" Acraea alciope, Hew. You will see that tI. alciope does 

 not figure. I saw none in this locality, though it had ap- 

 peared again in the more sunny ' jungle.' It appears not to 

 like too dense forest. 



" Precis rauana, Grose-Smith. This is the first time I liave 

 met this species, and I was delighted to see what a good 

 mimic it is on the wing — though I could see it was a mimic 

 before I caught it." 



Concerning the captures on Dec. 10, Dr. Carpenter had 

 ■written, on this date : — 



'' It has been no use collecting for the last two or three 

 months — in fact last Sunday was the first time I had been 

 out for a long time, and I thought it would be good because 

 we had had a good deal of rain in the month before. 



" I do not think Planema tellus is uncommon : at any rate 

 I send a fair number of specimens now, and have seen what 

 I think to be others, for I am now beginning to be able to 

 differentiate Planemas from Pseudacraeas by their general 

 appearance and 'manners.' 



" To-day (Sunday, Dec. 1 0th) I went to the same place in 

 the forest, and got a few more specimens. There were not so 

 many things about, but oh ! I missed heaps ! — a female Ps. 

 hohleyi which appeared to be bi'ownish instead of black and 

 white ; lots of male hohleyi, PL macarista or poggei, and 

 what I believed to be intermediate Pseudacraeas ! Still, I 

 send more PI. tellus and Ps. terra. I said last Sunday I had 

 seen no A. alciope in the forest. I saw two males to-day, and 

 caught one, and believe 1 saw a female : anyhow, it is an 

 addition to the list. I got another poor Pr. rauana to-day, 

 and some more Planema arenaria, which I had not sent before 

 Dec. 3."
