Lycaenid, the whole series consisted of Danaida {Liinnas) 

 chrysippus and its mimics. Although no single specimen of 

 the dorippiis [hlitgii) form was present among the 17 chrysippus, 

 examples of its mimics occurred both in the female of Hypo- 

 limnas misippus (3 out of 3 were of the inaria form), and 

 in Acraea encedon (i out of 2 was of the daira form). This 

 interesting evidence of the spread of a mimicking form 

 beyond the range of its model was exhibited to the Ento- 

 mological Society of London {Proceedings, 1908, p. Ixxx). 



In addition to the above, an interesting series of 27 butter- 

 flies and I moth from forest-land (about 2,500 ft.) at Taveta, 

 British East Africa (March 7, 1905), were presented by the 

 captor, C. A. Wiggins, Esq., M.R.C.S., together with 20 

 butterflies from Mombasa (1904-5) and 28 butterflies and 

 I moth from Changamwe, on the Uganda Railway, about 

 10 miles inland from Mombasa (Dec. 23, 1904). These 

 latter include 11 specimens of the interesting Lycaenid 

 Teriomima freya captured at rest together on a single flower- 

 stem. 



A Syrphid fly from the neighbourhood of Salisbury, 

 Mashonaland, was presented by the captor, G. A. K. 

 Marshall, Esq. 



A male specimen of the Danaine butterfly, Anmtiris albi- 

 inaciilata, from the Aberdare Range, in the Kenia Province of 

 British East Africa (Feb. 1906), was presented by the cap- 

 tors, S. L. Hinde, Esq., and Mrs. Hinde. The specimen had 

 been attacked, probably after death, by ants or other pests, 

 and the scent-brands on the hind wings eaten away. The 

 portion of the wing bearing the brands has been removed as 

 neatly as if it had been cut out with scissors. 



A fine series of 371 insects, chiefly Lepidoptera, but also 

 including a few valuable accessions from other Orders, was 

 presented by Herbert Druce, Esq., F.L.S., F.Z.S., &c. The 

 localities were very numerous, the following parts of the 

 world being represented : — North, Central and South America, 

 East and West Africa, Japan, China, the Malay Archipelago, 

 India.
