far the most probable enemies unless there is evidence of 

 the attacks of a mantis (possible but not likely in the 

 example represented in this figure). 

 Fig. 0. Tarucus plinius ^, March 11, 1899. Flies at medium pace, 

 settles on bushes and low trees, birds the prul)able 

 enemies. The injury moreover suggests a bird. 



7. Hiipolyceena philippns ^, March 11, 1899. Habits and 



conclusions as in the last figure. These two Lycajnids 

 and many other butterflies will settle on the ground in 

 damp spots to drink, but Mr. Marshall has not seen 

 lizards in such places. 



8. Pupilio demodocns ^, March 2, 1901. Flies rapidly, settling 



on flowering bushes ; probable enemies mantides or birds ; 

 lizards improbable. Character of injury suggests posterior 

 part of both hind-wings shorn oft' while at rest by a 

 l)ird. 



9. P. deiiiodocits ^, Jan. 24, 1901. Same conclusion as in 



last figure.

11. Gatochrysops parsimon $, Jan. 25, 1899. Very rapid 



fliglit, settling on ground and low veldt flowers and at 

 night resting on grass-stems. Lizards probable enemies, 

 but the character of the injury suggests a bird. 



12. AxiDcerces harpac ^, March 3, 1899. Habits and con- 



clusions as in Figs. 6 and 7.

15. G. fjuderiana $, March 6, 1898. In this and the two 



preceding figures, see description of Fig. 5. 



16. Uranothamna poggei ^ , Jan. 1901. A woodland species 



flying at medium pace and settling on low flowers. Birds 

 probable enemies.

clusions as in Figs. 6 and 7. Probably seized at rest with 

 wings closed.

Probably attacked at rest. 



20. G. satnriMs ^ , Jan. 2, 1899. Symmetry of injury suggests 



conclusions as in Figs. 8 and 9.
