He had confirmed Wood Mason’s statement as to a jasmine- 
like scent in certain male Catopsilias. 
A group of Pierines comprising Ganoris rape, G. canidia, 
Huphina nerissa, Belenois mesentina, Catophaga paulina, and 
Delias eucharis, all had a scent very suggestive of that of 
sweet-briar. It was probably confined to the male sex. 
A smaller group of Pierines, comprising Ganoris napi, 
G. oleracea, and G. melete, had a strong and very character- 
istic scent reminding one of lemon-verbena. It was certainly 
confined to the male sex. 
On the other hand, Ganoris brassicx has a scent of its own, 
somewhat like violet-powder. Thus three species in one 
genus had distinct scents, but of these one was shared by 
many widely-spread genera, He believed that when more 
was known of these scents they might prove of considerable 
philogenetic value. 
Several Danaids, viz. Crastia core, C. asela, C. amymone (at 
Macao), /samia midamus (at Hong Kong), Parantica ceylonica, 
and Chittira fumata, all had a strong odour like acetylene. 
Limnas chrysippus had a faint odour like cockroaches or 
musk-rats. He was unable to say whether these Danaine 
scents were confined to the male sex, although he believed 
it to be the case, 
His observations on seasonal forms were to the effect that 
the forms of Precis agreed closely with wet and dry conditions, 
but this was not so in the case of either Catopsilia pyranthe 
or Terias hecabe. 
He called attention to the fact that the anal lobe of certain 
Lycenids is set at right angles to the hind-wing; a fact 
usually lost in cabinet specimens by the results of setting. 
By specially set specimens and drawings taken from the 
living butterfly he showed that this structure, together with 
the tails, produced the appearance of a head and antenne, 
and was probably protective. 
In conclusion he showed by the lantern, photographs of 
some of the localities visited.
