MUNISU appears to be sitiiatctl at ail altitude of 4150 feet, 

 and most of Lord Dolainere's captures were obtained in that 

 locality ; but a few of tiic speeiea were obtained in East 

 Central Africa, on the Athi River. 



The collection consists of seventy-nine species, none new 

 to science, but three new to the .Museum series, viz. }[ono- 

 Irichtis kenioj Belenois margaritacea, and Pinacopteryx rubro- 

 basalts. The following species of special interest were also 

 secured : — J^recis guruana, P. Grcgovii^ Planema montana, 

 Acrcea uvuif Uranothauuia nubifer, Mylothris rubricostaf 

 Terias hapale in both sexes, Hynchloc disiorta, PapiUo echeri- 

 uides, Pyrgus machucosa, and Cyclopides quadn'signata.
