111. — An Account of a Collection of Butterflies made hy the 

 Bev. K. St. Atlhyn Rogers heticeen Mombasa and the Forests of 

 Taveta. By ARTHUR G. Butler, Ph.D., F.L.S., F.Z.S., 

 &c., Senior Assistant-Keeper, Zoological Department, 

 British Museum (Nat. Hist.). 



In a letter sent from Mombasa, July 13th, 1900, Mr. Rogers 

 writes: — "I have been collecting butterflies here for some 

 time, and have been recommended by Mr. R. Crawshay to 

 send you some specimens in case any of them may be of 

 interest to you. I do not suppose you will find them of any 

 great value, as the greater part of them have been taken so 

 near the coast, the few from up-country being either from 

 1'aveta or on the road there. 1 regret there are so few, but 1 

 have already sent the greater part of my collections there to 

 the Royal Institution of Cornwall. 



" !Most of the species I send you are common generally, but 

 I append a few notes as to those which 1 have not taken so 

 commonly." Then follow notes upon many of the species. 



In spite of Mr. Rogers's modest opinion of this collection, I 

 have found it of considerable interest ; it consists of ninety- 

 seven species, some poorly represented in the Museum collec- 

 tion, otliers quite new to us. One local form I have had to 

 name, its difierences fn^m its southern representative being 

 clearly quite constant. 



The species from Taveta seem all to be referable to dry or 

 intermediate phases, those from Mombasa chiefly, if not 

 altogether, to the wet phase.
