Mimetic resemblance between the wet phase under side 
of Zeracolus regina and forms of Lelenots, by Dr. F. A. Dixey. 
Further notes on the choice of a resting site by Pzerzs 
rapae, by A. H. Hamm. 
Dec. 5.—Guy A. K. Marshall’s experiments with tempera- 
ture and humidity upon the larval and pupal stages of 
Teracolus omphale, by Dr. F. A. Dixey. 
Dr. Dixey’s paper on /xias and Huphina, read October 3, 
is included in the above list from the Proceedings as well as 
in that from the Transactions of the Entomological Society, 
because the former is not a mere title or brief abstract, but 
contains a substantial account of the subject. 
In addition to these papers in the publications of the Ento- 
mological Society, the following appeared in the Entomologist’s 
Monthly Magazine for June, pp. 121-128 :—Observations on 
Indian Butterflies, by T. R. Bell. This paper, full of interest- 
ing notes and observations, was compiled from the author’s 
‘correspondence with the Professor. 
The above statement does not by any means give a com- 
plete account of the researches conducted in the Department 
during 1906, for other pieces of work already published or to 
be published in 1907 were entirely or in great part carried 
out in 1906. Thus two important papers on Slattidae, by 
Mr. Shelford, have already appeared; Dr. Dixey has done 
much towards the completion of a memoir which, it is hoped, 
will be published during the present year, while the Professor 
had in 1906, with much help from friends, prepared nearly 
the whole of the MSS. of Part II of Predaceous Insects and 
their Prey. The materials of his lecture on W. J. Burchell, 
delivered at Cape Town, August 17, 1905, and in chief part 
prepared for publication in 1906, appeared in the early part 
of the present year.
