in a similar manner (Proc. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1904, p. lvii). 

 In the latter case, howevei*, I was able to detect the odour 

 in the detached scales. 



" In two males similarly examined by Dr. Longstaff, the 

 scent, although sweet, contained a disagreeable element 

 which led him to compare it to that of ' bad sweetmeats.' 

 This was not the case with the specimen above recorded 

 by me, though I can confirm the observation with regard 

 to one of Dr. Longstaff's males. 



" Two specimens of Teracolus achine, Cram., $ , emitted a 

 distinct flowery perfume, something like that of honeysuckle. 

 Another seemed to be devoid of odour; the female also was 

 found to be scentless. 



"The scent of Teracolus annse, Wallgrn., <£, is faint, 

 but quite unmistakably present in some individuals. It is 

 flowery, with a slight roughness or spiciness suggestive of 

 heliotrope. Dr. Longstaff failed to detect a scent in one of 

 his specimens, but found it very faintly present in a second. 

 He is inclined to compare it with that of G. rapse,. 



"In Teracolus auxo, Luc, <£, the fragrance may be strong, 

 in which case it resembles that of some heavily-scented 

 white flowers such as ' Syringa ' (Philadelpkus) or jasmine. 

 There is no suggestion of either lemon or rose — both of 

 these being odours not uncommonly met with among Pierines. 

 Dr. Longstaff, who found the scent faint (as I did in some 

 instances), characterizes it as ' clean, flowery ' ; and compares 

 it with that of Ganoris brassicx, Linn. 



" Teracolus eris, King, was only encountered in small 

 numbers. A male caught by me on the banks of the Zambesi 

 had a distinct flowery scent when fresh. A corresponding 

 observation was made by Dr. Longstaff. 



" In Teracolus omphale, Godt., <£ , I was invariably able to 

 detect an odour, always well-marked and often strong. This 

 odour in the first place resembled that of T. auxo in its 

 likeness to the fragrance of Philadelpkus ; a possibly nearer 

 comparison, however, being with the white lily. But in 

 addition to this ' white-flower perfume ' there was nearly 

 always present an aromatic, almost ' snuffy ' constituent of 

 different character, hard to define ; this gave to the scent a
