Fig. 13. A. nohara, form lialali, Marcli 9, 1898. Flies low and 

 settles on low flowers and the ground. A lizard is a 

 probable enemy except that the injury is unilateral and 

 the insect closes its wings in all but tlie short rests, when 

 it opens and shuts them. 



1 i. Gatopsilia florella 5, Dec. 18, 1898. Flies very rapidly, 

 rests on trees under leaves, visits flowers and bushes. It 

 only settles on the ground to drink in damp places. It 

 is unlikely to be attacked by a lizard, and the character of 

 the injury probably indicates a bird. 



15. Precis sesamiis 9, April 8, 1901. Probably injured by a 

 bird : the notch is too narrow for a lizard. The specimen 

 was evidently freshly emerged. 



IG. Terias hrlcjlUa 9, December 18, 1898. Flies slowly and 

 settles on the ground and low flowers. Probably attacked 

 by lizard. 



17. C. florella (^, Jan. 21, 1899. The injury stronyly suggests 



the beak of a bird. Both wings are symmetrically 

 snipped. 



18. C. florella S, Jan. 14, 1899. The habits imply that birds 



are the usual enemies. 



19. P. sesamns ^, April 8, 1901. The shape of the tear is 



such as might have been made by a lizard, and the habits 

 of the butterfly render it quite probable that the injury 

 was thus caused. A very fresh specimen. 



20. Pseudoiiympha extensa ^, Jan. 2, 1899. A woodland 



species with feeble flight, settling on low flowers and the 

 ground. It was very prob ibly attacked by a lizard. 



21. Terias brigitta ^, March 9, 1898. Similar to description 



of Fig. 16. 



22. Belenois severina (J, Jan. 25, 1899. Flight like that of 



Teracolus ompliale, see Fig. 8 description. Attack of 

 lizard probable. 



23. Precis archesia (^ , April 8, 1901. The character of the 



injury suggests the attack of a bird. Very fresh 

 specimen. 



24. Precis antilope, form simla $ , Dec. 31, 1898. All Precis 



in woodland and open country settle frequently on rocks 

 and ground. The injury j^robably caused by a lizard. 



25. B. secerirui 5, Feb. 1, 1899. Probably injured by a lizard.
