it by its smell, for by that dim light it seemed impossible to distinguish it from 

 Papilio lyceus. 



Five minutes later she accepted without hesitation and ate a wingless Papilio 

 lymus and refused, then suspiciously half-tasted, and rejected the Pcqyilio echerioides, 

 retreating when I reoffered it. 



Three minutes later she accepted without hesitation and ate a Pa2nUo lyceus, 

 crushed and rejected the Papilio echerioides, crushed and readily ate a wingless 

 P. demodocus, and then simply settled down for the night, refusing lyceus, both 

 with and without wings. Both sexes of lyceus were used in this experiment, but 

 the Pcqyilio angolcmus were all c? s.

Exp. 74. — Auyust 23. After eating from the forceps a number of grasshoppers 

 the bird refused absolutely to touch a Terias, but readily accepted and ate a 

 JVeptis agatha. 



After ten more grasshoppers she readily ate another JV. agatha,, but after seven 

 more grasshoppers she refused to touch a third, readily ate Eitrytela hiarbas and 

 refused for some time, then, becoming doubtless slightly hungrier, accepted 

 and ate the JVeptis agatha. 



After six more grasshoppers she refused repeatedly and most obstinately even to 

 taste Neptis agatha, but readily ate a Eurytela dryope. 



After three more grasshoppers she once more ate a Eihrytela dryope and 

 refused a Neptis agatha. She then ate a locust with wings removed and again ate 

 Eurytela dryope ; then another locust with wings removed and yet another Eurytelct 

 dryope. After a third locust, however, with wings removed, she persistently refused 

 Eurytela dryope and Papilio echerioides, both without wings, crushed very thoroughly 

 and half swallowed Papilio angolcmus, but brought it up again and rejected it after 

 some further crushing. She then tasted and at once rejected the same Papilio 

 angolanus with its wings removed, but crushed very thoroughly and ate a wingless 

 Papilio deniodoctos § , again tasted and rejected the P. angolanus, afterwards refusing 

 without tasting Papilio echerioides § and Pcopilio lyceus 5 (wingless). 



Fifteen minutes later she crushed and rejected the Papilio angolanus, refused, 

 then tasted and rejected Eurytela dryope, refused without tasting Papilio echeri- 

 oides 5 and Papilio lyceus, wingless $ , crushed at great length Pccpilio lyceas with
