  caught 
  specimens, 
  but 
  the 
  whitey-green 
  under 
  

   part 
  of 
  the 
  abdomen 
  unfortunately 
  shrivels 
  and 
  discolours 
  

   a 
  great 
  deal 
  soon 
  after 
  death. 
  Our 
  species 
  has 
  far 
  longer 
  an- 
  

   tennae 
  than 
  those 
  shown 
  in 
  Sharp's 
  figures. 
  Remarkable 
  as 
  

   the 
  deception 
  is, 
  the 
  long 
  waving 
  antennae 
  detract 
  from 
  it, 
  

   and 
  I 
  cannot 
  conceive 
  any 
  protective 
  value 
  for 
  it. 
  A 
  year 
  or 
  

   two 
  ago 
  I 
  saw 
  an 
  Asilid 
  fly 
  pounce 
  upon 
  what 
  I 
  took 
  to 
  be 
  

   an 
  ant. 
  I 
  caught 
  both 
  and 
  put 
  them 
  in 
  the 
  cyanide 
  bottle 
  

   together, 
  and 
  it 
  was 
  only 
  after 
  I 
  examined 
  them 
  at 
  home 
  that 
  

   I 
  found 
  the 
  victim 
  was 
  a 
  spider 
  instead 
  of 
  an 
  ant."

  exhibited 
  the 
  following 
  

   species 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  Papilio 
  androdes, 
  Bdv., 
  a 
  new 
  race 
  from 
  the 
  Sulla 
  Islands. 
  

   It 
  differs 
  chiefly 
  by 
  increase 
  of 
  black 
  and 
  reduction 
  of 
  the 
  

   white 
  markings. 
  This 
  species 
  was 
  only 
  known 
  heretofore 
  

   from 
  Celebes. 
  

  

  Papilio 
  gigon 
  mangolimis, 
  Fruhst. 
  The 
  race 
  from 
  the 
  Sulla 
  

   Islands, 
  which 
  differs 
  chiefly 
  from 
  the 
  type 
  form 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  

   way 
  as 
  does 
  the 
  androdes 
  race. 
  There 
  is, 
  however, 
  a 
  reduc- 
  

   tion 
  in 
  the 
  extent 
  of 
  the 
  patches 
  of 
  modified 
  scales 
  on 
  the 
  

   fore-wing. 
  The 
  type 
  is 
  common 
  in 
  Celebes, 
  and 
  the 
  only 
  

   other 
  known 
  form 
  inhabits 
  Talaut 
  and 
  Sangir. 
  

  

  Delias,

  Burn. 
  A 
  single 
  $ 
  specimen 
  of 
  a 
  

   distinct 
  species 
  related 
  to 
  isse, 
  Cram., 
  which 
  is 
  already 
  repre- 
  

   sented 
  on 
  Buru 
  by 
  the 
  race 
  echo, 
  Wall. 
  

  

  Hypolimnas 
  misippus, 
  Cram. 
  The 
  female 
  from 
  Tenimber, 
  

   together 
  with 
  Danaida 
  plexippus 
  larantensis, 
  and 
  Limnas 
  

   chrysijypus 
  petilea, 
  StoU., 
  f. 
  cratippus, 
  Feld. 
  There 
  are 
  several 
  

   specimens 
  of 
  the 
  Hypolimnas 
  $ 
  in 
  the 
  Tenimber 
  Collection 
  as 
  

   well 
  as 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  males. 
  The 
  D. 
  laratensis 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  

   commonest 
  white-banded 
  Danaine 
  in 
  the 
  island. 
  The 
  

   chrysippus 
  form 
  was 
  not 
  common, 
  and 
  is 
  never 
  so 
  in 
  the 
  

   eastern 
  islands, 
  where 
  it 
  becomes 
  darker 
  with 
  a 
  reduced 
  white 
  

   band.
