paragea, Grose-Smith, a male and a female, were of great interest 

 because of the extended pale markings, resembling those of 

 the most extreme varieties obtained by Mr. Wiggins in the 

 neighbourhood of Entebbe. The five specimens from Damba 

 Island, mentioned in these Proceedings (1912, p. xxiii), were 

 on the contrary very dark forms. Mr. Wiggins's darkest and 

 lightest examples were exhibited December 6, 1911 (Proceed- 

 ings, p. xci). An account of the Sesse Pseudacraeas would 

 be given at a later meeting when more material had arrived, 

 but in the meantime it might be stated that the intermediate 

 varieties between obsctcra and tei-ra were a large proportion of 

 the whole, and that they formed the most complete transition 

 from the one pattern to the other. Dr. Carpenter's observa- 

 tions on the courtship of the Pseudacraeas of the hohleyi group 

 afforded interesting confirmation of Dr. Jordan's conclusions 

 based on the structure of the male armature. Pseudacraea 

 kuenoivi hypoxantha, Jord., was present in Dr. Carpenter's 

 captures on Bugalla, although absent from those on Damba. 

 Prof. Poulton had now received the whole of the butterflies 

 collected on this latter island, and explained that a few addi- 

 tions would require to be made to the lists of Pseudacraeas 

 and Planemas published in these Proceedings (1911, pp. 

 xci-xcv; 1912, pp. xix-xxiii). He hoped to bring a complete 

 statement before a later meeting.
