Coleoptera) forming a group characterized by a type of 
colouring common in African Lycid beetles. 
Eighteen Coleoptera forming a group with a cantharid type 
of colouring and transitional into a common Phytophagous 
type. 
Sixteen Coleoptera with another type of colouring common 
in Phytophaga, viz. iridescent blue-black elytra, thorax and 
head yellowish. 
Fourteen synaposematic Coccinellid Coleoptera. 
In addition to these interesting groups Mr. Marshall pre- 
sented 143 insects of various orders from Mt. Chirinda, for 
the systematic collection. The locality is of much interest 
inasmuch as it represents an isolated remnant of the primitive 
tropical forest; and Mr. Marshall observed that the insect 
fauna is in many respects different from that of the other 
localities in Mashonaland over which he has collected. 
* Also from the Mpudzi River, Manica, E. Rhodesia (about 
3,000 ft.) 43 insects of various orders, all captured by Mr. 
Marshall in November and December, Igot. 
From Salisbury, Mashonaland (5,000 ft.) a large number of 
specimens of the highest interest, mostly captured in 1902: 
three specimens of Precis antilope—a wet-phase parent and 
its two dry-phase offspring—were described in the Report for 
1902, although then uncatalogued. These historic specimens, 
proving for the first time (April 1902) that P. szma is but 
the wet form of P. anzilope, are described in Trans. Ent. Soc., 
Lond., 1902, p. 418, and figured on Plates XII, XIII. 
Three butterflies with injuries, probably caused by the 
attacks of enemies (one captured by Mr. H. Dobbie). 
Eighteen Coleoptera of Cantharid type of colouring passing 
into a common Phytophagous type. 
Sixteen Coleoptera and one Bracon with Lycoid colouring. 
Two ant-models, each with a Staphylinid mimic, Poectlomorpha 
mutillaria, a Coleopterous mimic of a Mutillid. 
A Scoliid with its Sesiid mimic. 
Nineteen examples of the Coleoptera employed in Mr. 
Marshall's experiments on the taste or smell of insects as
