A developer supply cartridge detachably mountable to a main assembly of an image
forming apparatus, includes a developer accommodating portion of accommodating
a developer; a discharging opening for discharging the developer accommodated in
the developer accommodating portion to a developer receiving opening of a developer
receiving cartridge provided with a developing device for developing an electrostatic
image formed on an image bearing member with the developer, the developer receiving
cartridge being detachably mountable to the main assembly of the image forming
apparatus; a shutter member movable between an opening position for opening the
discharging opening and a closing position for closing the discharging opening;
and an engaging portion for engagement with the developer receiving cartridge so
as to receive, from the developer receiving cartridge, a force for moving the shutter
member from the closing position to the opening position, in interrelation with
relative movement between the developer supply cartridge and the developer receiving
cartridge toward each other in a mounting-and-demounting direction of the developer
