Godt., of both sexes. These TJ'eracoli, with one exception 
that was intermediate, were decidedly “dry,” but not so 
extremely so as our Rhodesian specimens. Oolias electra, 
Linn., was seen but not taken. 
Of Papilio nireus, Linn., form lywus, Dbl., we secured 
two males, but we met with both sexes of P. demodocus, 
Esp. Of P. dardanus, Brown, perhaps the commonest of 
the three Papilios, two males and one female were taken, 
the latter of the form cenea, which mimics Amauris echeria, 
Stoll. Of the last-named species four specimens were 
taken, also three of the closely allied A. albimaculata, 
Butl. Both forms are very hard to kill. Limnas chry- 
sippus, Linn., was fairly common. 
Lyczenids were not so numerous as might have been ex- 
pected in the Park,either as regards species or individuals. 
Of Zizera lysimon, Hiibn., and Cacyreus palemon, Cram., 
single specimens were taken; females of Argiolaus silas, 
Westw., were fairly common, they flew high and settled on 
the tops of trees, but also visited flowers. <A few of the 
widely ranging Yarucus telicanus, Lang, were to be seen, 
two of them whilst at rest were observed to move the 
hind-wings alternately backwards and forwards in their 
own plane. 
On the occasion of our former visit we saw no Satyrids, 
but this time two specimens of Psewdonympha cassius, 
Godt., turned up, as well as two females and a male of 
Mycalesis safitza, Hew. 
With the exception of Charaxes varanes, Cram., which 
was fairly common, though worn, the Nymphalines were 
not very prominent. Hurytela hiarbas, Dru., was less 
plentiful and in less good condition than on our first visit ; 
of Lyblia goetzius, Herbst, only a single male was seen, 
while a Precis archesia, Cram., was taken settled on the 
ground. Several fine Pyrameis cardui, Linn., were 
observed. 
Among the flowers introduced into the garden portion 
of the Park, and tending to run wild, was the “ Pride of 
Madeira,” Hehiwm fastuoswm, a remarkable plant of the 
natural order Boraginacex, whose small white or blue 
flowers form solid spikes, often six feet high or more, the 
apparently simple spikes being made up of innumerable 
densely packed scorpioidal cymes. This proved very 
attractive to insects of all orders; among the numerous 
butterflies that fed upon the flowers was a single example
