at all times.” The date was March 1, 1829, and the locality 
Porto Real (now Porto Nagionale) on the River Tocantins, 
The observation is quoted in Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 1904, 
xiii., p. 100, where, however, it is assumed that the larva, which 
had not then been found, was a Lampyrid. Burchell thought 
that the larva was probably that of “ 1334,” a Lampyrid (taken 
on March 2, 1829) identified by Monsieur Jules Bourgeois as 
Photuris lineola, Blanch. 
Commander J. J. Watker exhibited the type-specimen of 
Haplothorax burchelli, G. A. Waterhouse, from the Hope 
Collection, Oxford University Museum. This very remarkable 
Carabid was discovered by the celebrated South African 
traveller, W. J. Burchell, in St. Helena. It is now exceedingly 
rare in its sole locality, the late Mr. Wollaston, during his 
visit to the island in 1875-6, having entirely failed to find 
the beetle alive, though its dead and mutilated remains were 
often met with. Described Trans. Ent. Soc. III. p. 207, 
plate XII, f.1. 
The Prestpent exhibited cases showing the results of 
recent breeding experiments upon Papilio cenea conducted at 
Durban by Mr. G. F. Leigh, who had for the first time bred 
the form trophonius from trophonius itself. My. Leigh had 
watched a trophonius laying eggs, and, although he failed to 
catch the parent, a considerable number of eggs were obtained. 
These produced males, females of the cen®a form, and a single 
trophonius female. A careful comparison of the whole synepi- 
gonic group would be presented to the Society at a later date, 
Adding this result to the records published in Mr. 'Leigh’s 
paper in Part IV. of the Transactions (1904, p. 677), it will 
be found that the form cenea-has produced cenea and a small 
proportion of hippocoonoides, while the form trophonius has 
produced cenea and a small proportion of trophonius. Hippo- 
coonoides has not yet been bred from trophonius, nor has 
trophonius from cenea. Hippocoonoides has not been bred 
from at all. Much remains to be done, but Mr. Leigh’s 
work marks a great advance in our knowledge of this most 
interesting of mimetic forms. 
The PresipENT showed a long series of Crastia amymone, 
captured by Mr. J.C. Kershaw at Macao. The series exhibited 
a beautiful transition between typical amymone, Godt., and
