gargautua, Westwood), much mangled or partially di¬ 
gested. Also a specimen in good condition of the 
Reduviid bug (Astinum m-album, A. and S., or sp. near). 
February, 1910. Stomach of a Drongo, Dis'semurus 
paradiseus, Linn., contained an Elaterid beetle very like 
(if not identical with) Diploconus hebclatus, Cand. 
August, 1909. Stomach of Eastern Roller, Eurys- 
tomus orientalis, Linn., contained remains of a 
Brenthid, ? Baryrrhinchus dehiscent, Gyll. A second 
example shot the same day contained the same. 
November, 1911. Stomach of Paradise Fly-catcher 
(Tevsiphone affinis, Hay), contained half digested remains 
of a Cicada (. Parana pryeri, Dist. male).

May 16th, 1910. A monkey (. Macacus cynornolgus, 
or “ kra ” as it is known to the natives here) was given 
a full grown larva of the Death’s-head Moth (Acherontia 
lachesis, Fab.) which it ate with evident relish. I 
placed the caterpillar on the ground and held the 
monkey for a moment to let it see the caterpillar

ed in the laryngeal pouch.

shrub in the earlv morning and admired the beautiful 
way in which its green colouring rendered it so nearly 
indistinguishable from its surroundings. Brought the 
monkey out on my shoulder towards the bush; the 
monkey noticed the insect immediately, far quicker than 
I did, and quickly seized and devoured it with apparent 
pleasure, discarding the spiny legs. 
July 26th, 1909. From a glass-bottomed pill-box, 
I gave a dull-coloured geometrid moth to the same 
monkey; eaten at once. Followed this by a Pierine, 
the yellow Terias hecabe, which she was allowed to 
look at first through the glass. After she had evinced 
obvious signs of curiosity and desire for it, the box 
w r as opened and the butterfly seized. At one bite she
