from Mr. Marshall’s statement that in his experience ZL. 
chrysippus emits no smell. 
“A specimen of Charaxes varanes, Cram. ¢, on being 
squeezed, emitted an odourless yellow juice. Another was 
noted by Dr. Longstaff as having a ‘treacly’ odour. A female 
was thought by him to havea smell likecowdung. To me the 
scent of the same specimen recalled that of L. chrysippus. 
“ Salamis anacardii, Linn., has an animal-like scent which 
to Dr. Longstaff suggests the odour of rabbit-hutches. It 
appears to be stronger in the female. This may be compared 
with Wood-Mason’s statement that the females of Papilio 
dasarada, Moore, ‘had the strong scent of caged porcupines 
with a touch of musk’ (Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, 1886, Vol. 
LV, Part II, No. 4, p. 374). 
‘*Three specimens of Weptis agatha, Cram., captured by me 
in Natal, emitted a strong and very disagreeable scent, much 
like that of Z. chrysippus, but more intense. ‘Two specimens 
from the Zambesi, however, are reported by Dr. Longstaff 
as having a ‘slight sweet scent,’ and ‘? slight ‘scent’ respect- 
ively. The Natal and Zambesi forms of this species certainly 
differ in aspect, and it may be that a corresponding difference 
exists in their scent-producing capacity. All five specimens 
seem to be males. 
“T found no smell in Neptis marpessa, Hopff. ¢. 
‘““A male specimen of Hypolimnas misippus, Linn., had a 
smell like coffee; not very strong. 
“The male of Hamanumida dxdalus, Fabr., was found by 
me to smell like burnt sugar, or caramel toffee. A similar 
scent of burnt treacle, accompanied by a ‘fairly strong animal 
scent,’ was noted in another male specimen by Dr. Longstaff. 
In two others, when dead, he detected a ‘mousy’ odour. 
**T could find no scent in Lurytela hiarbas, Drury, g. Dr. 
Longstaft records of two specimens (sex undetermined) 
‘? snuffy scent.’ 
“ Precis clelia, Cram. ¢, is said by Dr. Longstaff to have 
a treacly scent. 
‘The smell of fusty packing-straw, so common among the 
Acrzas, is also found in Papilio demodocus, Esp. It is some- 
times combined with a smell that suggests cabbage-water, or a
