Pupn. about 8.1x.15 while travelling; emerged 19.ix.15.” 
The pupa-case, attached to a piece of bark, was sent 
(Pl. XII, fig. 16, p. 475) together with 3 larvae in spirit 
(Pl. XII, fig. 17, p. 475). The larvae were found on an ant- 
tree and others believed to be the same on a similar ant-tree 
at Agege, 
E i pitola concepcion Suff.—One female with the following 
note: “‘ Larva found resting prior to pupation, 10.1. 17. 
Pupn. completed next day; emerged 19.11.17.” The larva 
was found on the bark of Alstonia. The pupa-case was 
sent, but one of Lamborn’s is shown on Pl. XII, fig. 13. 
Eresina corynetes Gr.-Sm.—One female found on the 
bark of Alstonia, Jan. 17, 1918. Referred to in a letter 
of Jan. 26, 1918 :—‘* The small Lycaenid—captured—from 
the Hewitsonia tree. I took it because it was slightly 
malformed. I have an idea that it had not long emerged, 
but couldn’t find a pupa-case.”—E.B.P. | 
July 26, 1915.—The mail as I said came on Sunday, 
and I had one from Lamborn too. I always go out into 
the bush on Sunday if it doesn’t rain, and that day was no 
exception. I always visit the Lycaenid trees here. Lam- 
born told me to look out for a Hewitsonia larva, and I 
have in spirit here what I believe to be one. 
Sept. 28, 1915.—I now know the larvae of Hewitsoma, 
but haven’t yet solved their food problem. But in my 
three weeks’ trek I saw them on every ant-tree I met. 
The larvae run about among the ants, which do not touch 
them. I will send specimens next mail if I get a chance. 
I also got larvae of identical form [Hpitola honorius| 
but of dark brown colour on an (Cremastogaster) ant-tree, 
but of seven only one pupated and the imago is deformed, 
I found the larvae in forest at a town called Shagamu, 
which is about two or three days’ trek (about 50 miles) 
from Epe (N.W.): I’ve not seen them here, 
The pupa of the one here at Ibadan [Hewitsonia similis], 
if pupation takes place on a green plant, is coloured more 
dominantly green than those that go up on bark. I'll 
write them up more fully, however, later. At present I 
haven’t the time. On the larval feet (pro-legs) are what 
appear to be glands. I have seen them crawling over a 
glass lid. They may be found on other larvae of Lepidoptera. 
They do not appear to secrete. They are on the outer side 
of the foot, rather like this. [Sketch in letter. See pp. 342, 
355, 383, “485. ] I think the part is retractile. I think
