in colouring ; down below they are plentiful, more varied, 
larger and more gaily coloured. /vecis so far seems to be 
below 8000 feet, and extremely rare up here.” 
The observations of another friend further to the north in 
Africa also show the great abundance of H. misippus and 
how far it is from occupying the subordinate numerical 
position assigned to mimics by the late H. W. Bates. Between 
January 20th and 25th of the present year Mr. C. A. Wiggins 
captured at Kisumu, near the terminus of the Uganda line, 
on the N.E. shore of Lake Victoria Nyanza, the following 
specimens of this model and mimic :— 
Limnas chrysippus. HHypolimnas misippus (females). 
Type-form 10, Type-form 27. 
klugiviform 20, inaria-form 16. 
And again at the end-of January and the beginning of 
February :— 
L. chrysippus. H. misippus (females). 
Type-form 73. Type-form 18. 
klugit-form 85. inaria-form 15. 
These results are roughly compiled from the unset specimens, 
but no serious modification of the proportions is to be expected. 
Mr. Wiggins’ very large and interesting series of captures, 
bearing upon many bionomic problems of the highest interest, 
are now being studied in the Hope Department by Mr. 8. A. 
Neave, B.A., of Magdalen College.
