48 
in the Indian Ocean, off Minikoi Island (Jan. 28, 1904). The 
capture of such an apparently weak-flying butterfly so far 
from land is of much interest, and enables us to understand 
its wide distribution. 
Eight specimens of a species of Teracolus captured at 
Aden (February 3, 1904). 
A specimen of the Euploeine butterfly, Pramasa mitra, 
from Mahe Island, in the Seychelles, captured by Lieutenant 
Constable, R.N. (1898-9). This deeply interesting outlying 
member of a compact Oriental group of butterflies is new to 
the Department. 
A specimen of Acraea equatorialis, from Callao, Peru 
(1882-3. “E,M.M.” 1881, p. 85). 
One Pyrameis terpsichore, from Coquimbo, Chile (Oct. 
4693. “H.M. M.” 1889, p. 258). 
Two Lemonias albinus, from Taboga Island, Panama Bay 
(1882. “E.M.M.” 1883, p. 259). 
One 7ithorea irene, from Emperador, on the Panama Canal, 
near the summit of the Pacific slope, captured by Commander 
E. G. Bourke (1881). 
Five Coleoptera from various localities, given to Commander 
Walker by Dr. Swale. 
This valuable series of 467 specimens, all captured by the 
donor, unless otherwise stated, has necessitated the expenditure 
of a large amount of time in printing, the type requiring to 
be continually altered on account of the great numbers of 
localities and dates. 
The following deeply interesting specimens were presented 
by G. F. Leigh, Esq., of Durban, Natal. Their immense 
importance from the point of view of mimicry and of poly- 
morphism has been already explained (see p. 18). The 
quotations of pages, plates and figures refer to Mr. Leigh’s 
paper in Trans. Ent. Soc., London, 1904, pp. 667-91, Plates 
XXXI, XXXII, where the great majority of the specimens 
are described, and many of them figured. 
A variety of the female AHyfolimnas misippus, captured 
near Durban (Jan., 1904) together with the 16 offspring reared
