This specimen represents an undescribed race. Only one 

 other individual has been preserved and exists in the Port 

 Louis Museum. The form is evidently now extinct. An 

 interesting discussion of this species by the late Colonel 

 Manders appeared in the Trans, of the Society for 1907. 



Acraea, sp. nov., from the district of Lake Kivu, Central 

 Africa, taken by Mr. T. A. Barns. Belongs to the soiikensis 

 group. 



Callioratis abraxas, Feld. — A new race from Nyassaland. 

 The typical form is very rare and inhabits S. Africa. 



Papilio euterpinus, G. & S. — A specimen of the female. 

 Only one other is known to exist in collections, and that also 

 is contained in Mr. Joicey's collection, having been received 

 with the Grose-Smith collection, and referred to in " The 

 Revision of S. American Papilios," by Rothschild and Jordan. 



Eunica chlorochroa, Salv. — Three aberrations of this species 

 from S. Peru. Aberrations of this genus are rare, being even 

 more common in Catagramma. The aberrations exhibited 

 are of the underside only and represent an increase of the 

 black markings. 



The Weaver-bird observed eating butterflies by 

 W. A. Lamborn. — Prof. Poulton said that he had now 

 received, forwarded from Kuala Lumpur, F.M.S., the bird 

 seen to catch and eat the Pierine Catopsiliaflorella, as described 

 in Proc. Ent. Soc, 1920, p. xxvi. The specimen, exhibited 

 to the meeting, had been kindly named for him by Mr. Charles 

 Chubb of the Ornithological Department of the Natural 

 History Museum. It was Hypliantornis nigriceps, Layard, 

 one of the Weaver-birds (Ploceidae). 



Dr. H. Eltringham stated that he had made an examination 

 of the contents of the tubes containing material from the 

 stomach and intestines of the bird taken by Mr. Lamborn and 

 dated 10.12.19. In both the material was in a fine state of 

 maceration. A small portion of the mass examined with a |in. 

 objective showed many traces of butterfly remains: Fragments 

 of the proboscis and of the corneal layer of the eye were easily 

 observed, whilst it was difficult to move the slide into any 

 position in which there were not one or more lepidopterous 

 scales to be seen in the field. He had consulted with Dr.
