St. Atibi/n Rogers hetioeen Monihasaand the Forests of Taveta. By ARTHUR G. BUTLER, Ph.D., F.L.S., F.Z.S"., &c., Senior Assi.stant-Keeper, Zoological Department, British Museum (Nat. Hist.). In a letter sent from Mombasa, July 13tli, 1900, Mr. Kogers writes : — " I have been collecting butterflies here for some time, and have been recommended by Mr. R. Cravvshay to send you some specimens in case any of them may be of interest to you. I do not suppose you will find them of any great value, as the greater part of them have been taken so near the coast, the few from up-country being either from Taveta or on the road there. 1 regret there are so few, but 1 have already sent the greater part of my collections there to the Royal Institution of Cornwall. " Most of the species I send you are common generally, but I append a few notes as to those whicli i have not taken so commoidy." Then follow notes upon many of the species. In spite of Mr. Rogers's modest opinion of this collection, I have found it of considerable interest ; it consists of ninety-seven species, some poorly represented in the Museum collec-tion, otiiers quite new to us. One local form I have had to name, its difterences from its southern representative being clearly quite constant. The species from Taveta seem all to be referable to dry or intermediate phases, those from Mombasa chiefly^ if not altogether, to the wet jihase.
