52 Mr. W. L. Distant on the 



Mr. Trimen has recorded that he " once noticed a ckri/- 

 sippus for a long time pursue a ? misippus,^^ and that he had 

 little doubt " that the former mistook the latter for a female 

 of its own species." I have frequently witnessed the opera- 

 tion reversed. During the month of April 1895 these species 

 were particularly abundant in ray garden, but the ? //. misip- 

 j)us were very scarce, and I frequently watched the males of 

 that species chasing the female Danaids till they found their 

 mistake. When the Ilypolimnas ^ found his true ? , the 

 two sexes generally soared high and disappeared.
