Charaxes zoolina necmthes. This result was obtained from 

 ova deposited by the zoolina form of the 9 > ^^d produced 4 / 

 c?c?s and 2 $ 9s like the parent, and ^^ $ ^a and 9 9 $s of (r) 

 the neanthes form. Last year the same result was obtained 

 in a smaller degree, but the eggs on that occasion were ob- 

 tained from the neanthes form of the ?. All the specimens 

 exhibited, the breeding of which was undertaken at the 

 special request of Professor E. B. Poulton, will be placed with 

 those shown last year in the Hope Department, University 

 Museum, Oxford. The proving by breeding from ova that 



these two forms are one species has cleared up two or three 

 other similar cases of Butterflies occurring in other parts of 

 the world, that have forms of totally different colour, but are 

 structurally the same. With regard to the examples exhibited 

 ]Mr. Leigh said that although the zoolina form are consistent 

 in both the wet and dry season, there are two quite distinct 

 forms of the neanthes variety.

Professor E. B. Poulton, F.R.S., exhibited a set of three 

 species of Planema (Acraei^iae), with their Nymphaline and 

 Papilionine mimics, all captured on the same day in a small 

 isolated patch of forest about a mile and a half from Entebbe, 

 by Mr. C. A. Wiggins, a Fellow of the Society. The examples, 

 which were taken on July 11th of the present year, are shown
