common in August 1018 near Dragomir, along the east side of 

 L. Ardzair. All three localities are in Western Macedonia. I 

 have no notes on iSehjsiotheniis in the Struma Valley, where, 

 however, it doubtless occurs. On the other hand, I looked for 

 the species unsuccessfully along the Reshik-Langaza plain 

 and round Stavros, May-June 1918. 



The flight is low over dry ground especially when sparsely 

 set with tufts of grass on which the insect often rests. Water 

 surfaces, however, are generally avoided. 



I have to thank my friend Mr. Herbert Campion for material 

 assistance in drawing up the foregoing notes. 



Forms of Heliconius doris. — Mr. W, J. Kaye exhibited 

 Helicouius doris, Linn., from Trinidad, of the blue, green and 

 Fed forms, and from Colombia a specimen of an amathusia 

 form uniting the blue and red form in one, to show the dis- 

 position of the hind-wing streaking of the blue, green or red 

 forms. The streaking of the two former always occurs along 

 the vein ; while the red form is always between the veins. 

 The following note by Mr. W. Buthn from Trinidad was read, 

 and the comment was made that confirmation of such a 

 remarkable, observation was greatly to be desired. 



" A female that was either green or blue was observed 

 depositing eggs on upper surface of a leaf of Passiflora edulis 

 in the afternoon at about 3-4 early in November; eggs 

 were touching each other, and 129 were laid. Caterpillars 

 emerged six days later. Caterpillars and pupae gregarious, 

 unlike some other species of Uelicon,ius ; green and blue forms 

 emerged in about equal numbers; from another batch of 

 eggs laid on another leaf at the same time by the same female 

 only red forms emerged."' 



Lycaenidae from Cevlon. Mr. Kjley exhibited some 

 Lycaenids from Ceylon on behalf of Mr. W. Ormiston of 

 Kalupahani. The specimens included : — 



1: Zizera li/slinon, Hb. A female with extra spots added 

 irregularly on underside of fore-wing. A sindlar specimen 

 has already been received by the B.M., also from Ceylon, and 

 several others Were taken by Mr. Ormiston at the same time. 



2. Zizera gaika, Trimen. A similar aberration, also a female 

 ^nd taken at the same ])lace.
