XVI.—On a small Collection of Butterflies from the Kikuyu 
Country and Mombasa made by the Rev. K. St. Aubyn 
Rogers. By AxTuur G. Butter, Ph.D. 
Ir will be remembered that in the ‘ Annals’ for January last I 
published an account of a collection of butterflies made by 
Mr. Rogers between Mombasa and the Forests of Taveta, and 
that therein I called attention to certain species which were 
either new to the Museum collection or of which we required 
additional examples. 
Mr. Rogers has now sent some of the specimens asked for, 
together with a series of buttertlies collected by him last year 
in the Kikuyu country, which is especially interesting as 
supplementing my paper upon Mr. Crawshay’s collections 
recently published in the ‘ Proceedings of the Zoological 
Society.’ 
The present consignment from Mr. Rogers consists of 
fifty-six species, some of which are of considerable rarity in 
collections ; the following are of especial importance to us :— 
Both sexes of Precis Westermanni (in two pairs) ; Axiocerses 
punicea, new to the Museum; the female of Verachola duriaves, 
which was also new to the general collection—of this species 
Mr. Rogers observes that he has only once come across it, ‘at 
a place about 14 miles up the creek, where it was quit: 
common,” so that he did not trouble much about it; Urano- 
thauma cordatus and Falkenstecnt; Cyclyreus Sharpie ; Mylo- 
thris rubricosta and the female of MM. Jacksoni, which was 
new tous; a pair of Terias regularis (no. 250), which we 
have not received commonly from Hastern Africa; Terazolus 
Rothschildi in both sexes; a male of 7’, castalis; a beautiful 
and very lightly magenta-spotted male of 7. elgonensis (214), 
of which we previously only possessed the worn male collected 
by Mr. Crawshay ; Belenots margaritacea, of which we pre- 
viously only had one example; females of Papilio Mac- 
kinnont and Jacksoni; an example of what I believe to be 
Sarangesa ophthalmica, and which is new to the Museum. 
No new species were obtained, but a list of the ee with
