A drawer showing the gradual transition between the Papiiionidse and 
Pieridse, of which the garden white butterfly may be taken as a familiar 
representative, through the genera Leptocibcus, Teinopa.lpus, Sebi- 
ciNus, Thais, and Pabnassius, mostly natives of Northern Asia and 
Eastern Europe. 
In the NvMPHALiDiE, two drawers of the brilliant blue Mobpho, the 
“Glory of Brazil,” including M. Cypris (Westwood), M. Ehetenor 
(Cramer), M. Adonis (Cram), and others j also many lovely forms from 
the Amazon and Ecuador, so pre-eminently rich in these insects, e.g., 
Catageamma, of which C. excelsior (Hew) is perhaps the most beautiful. 
About sixty species were shewn. Callithea; C. optima (Butler), C. Markii 
(Hew), Degandii (Hew), and Buckleyi (Hew) — Epicalia; E. Hewitsonia 
(Feld), Ancsea (L.), &c. Also the Indian Leaf Butterflies, Kallima 
Paralekta (Horsf), Inachis (Boisd), and Philarchus (Westwood), which 
mimic dead leaves when at rest. And a large series of African species, 
belonging to the genera Habma, Eueyphene, EuPHiEDBA, &c. 
Heliconiinse, many species, all natives of South America. 
Four drawers of Lycseindse, or “ Blues,” containing all the type insects 
described by the Eev. E. P. Murray. 
(iv.) A few insects were also exhibited together in glass-topped cases, 
to exemplify mimicry amongst Lepidoptera of widely differing orders. 
Amongst them were : — 
(a) Papilio Meeope (Cramer), showing the three forms of the female, 
one resembling the male, the other two mimicking Amaueis Echbria 
(Stoll) and A. Niavios (L,) respectively. Both these latter of family 
Danaidse, inhabiting S. Africa. 
(5) Mimicry of Papilio Vaeuna (white) by a day-flying Moth Epi- 
coPEiA Varunana (Moore), natives of Bengal and Sikkim. 
(c) Mimicry of Hanais Tytia (Gray) by Papilio Agestoe (Gray). 
The Danaidee being more frequently imitated than other Butterflies, on 
account of their not being relished by birds : they are natives of India. 
{d) Mimicry of Hanais (Salatuea) Cheysippus (L.) by the female of 
one of the Nymphahdie (Hypolimnas Misippus (L.) ; this being one of 
the best known and most remarkable cases of personation in the entomo- 
logical world. 
(e) Mimicry of a Moth, Aletis Dbueyi, by a Butterfly Euph^dba 
Euspina (Hewitson), both from West Africa. 
(/) Mimicry of Eupl^a (Teepsicheois) Midamus (L.) by a Day-Flying 
Moth Cyclosia Midama (Boisd) : from India. 
(g) Mimicry of Mechanitis Lysimnia (Fabr) (Danaideee) by 
Dismoephia Peaxinoe (Doubleday), (Pieridse), South American. 
(h) Mimicry of Danais Abchippus (Fabr), [=Anosia Plexippus (L.j] 
by Limenitis Disipptjs (Biosd.) ; a similar case to (d), only occurring in 
the Southern States of North America. The exhibitor when in Georgia 
and Florida, in 1872, often noticed these butterflies, belonging to diffe- 
rent orders, Danaidse and Nymphalidee, flying about in company, and
