49 
from its eggs (pp. 689, 690). The parent is an interesting 
form (XXXII, fig. 1) intermediate between the type and its 
variety zzarza. Of the 16 offspring, 8 were females, and of these 
only one resembled the parent, and even this was a less well 
marked variety. Of the remainder, 4 were typical mzs7ppus 
and 3 typical zvarza. Five of the females and 2 males are 
figured (XXXII, figs. 2-8). 
A male and female of Papzlio dardanus, var. cenea, captured 
im coitu near Durban (Sept. 18, 1902), together with 14 of 
their offspring—6 males, 6 females of the cenea var. and 
2 females of the var. hzppocoonoides. ‘The parents are figured 
(XXXI, figs. 1, 2), with 6 of the female offspring (figs. 3-8. 
See also pp. 677-685). Three of the pupa-cases were also 
presented by Mr. Leigh. 
A female of Papilio dardanus, var. trophonius, captured near 
Durban (Sept. 18, 1903), together with the 5 offspring reared 
from its eggs—3 males and 2 females of the cevea var. The 
whole of these individuals are figured (XX XI, figs.g-14. See 
also pp. 685, 686). 
Twelve offspring bred from a ¢rophonius variety of the same 
species (which was watched laying the eggs but not captured), 
together with 2 of the pupa-cases and 3 dried pupae. Of the 
offspring 6 were males, 5 were cenea forms of female and 
1 a ¢rophonius female, like the parent. 
Three males of the same species (Mar. 7, 1904), one hippo- 
coonoides form of female (Mar. 8, 1904), captured by Mr. Leigh, 
near Durban, and a second example of the latter form caught 
by another naturalist. 
The instructive collection of specimens of Limnas chry- 
sippus, which is a special feature of the Department, received 
a fine accession through the kindness of A. G. Wileman, Esq., 
H.B.M. Consul for the District of Tainan, Anping, S. Formosa. 
The donation consists of a series of 36 specimens—largcly 
bred, all with precise data in 1904—from the flat sandy deltas 
near Anping and Tainan. In addition to the above, 3 examples 
of the mimic, the female (/ypolizmnas misippus, from the same 
locality, as well as examples of model and mimic captured on the
