Show 530 MISS SHARPE ON LEPIDOPTERA [Apr. 21, 5. List of Lepidoptera obtained by Dr. A. Donaldson Smith during his recent Expedition to Lake Rudolf. By EMILY M A R Y SHARPE. [Received April 21, 1896.] For the description of the country traversed by Dr. Donaldson Smith through Western Somali-land, I may refer to my father's paper on the Birds collected during the expedition (P. Z. S. 1895, pp. 457-520). Although but two new species of Butterflies appear to have been obtained, the facts connected with the geographical distribution of many species are of considerable interest. Family DANAIDJ:. 1.
