114^ ERNEST WAEREN. 



Mr. Haviland'y measurements Avere left in an unreduced 

 condition^ Imt they have now been tabulated, and the results 

 will be included in a paper which Avill probably be shortly 

 published in the statistical journal ' Biometrika/ 



I am nnich indebted to Mr. A. E. Haviland, of Estcourt, 

 Natal, brother of the deceased gentleman, who has generously 

 placed at my disposal the whole of the collection and the 

 manuscript notes. 



The observations, as presented in this account, will neces- 

 sarily appear somewhat fragmentary, as it is not desired to 

 repeat what has already been published in Mr. Haviland's 

 paper. For this reason systematic descriptions of the species 

 will not be given. The species which will be referred to 

 are : 



R h i n o t e r in e s s p . 



Hodotermes havilandi tSliarpe, 



Calotermes durbanensis Saviland, 



Termes natalensis Hart land, 



Termes latericius Havilaud, 



Termes vulgaris Havilaud, 



Termes incertus Hagen, 



Termes parvus Haviland, 



Termes bilobatus Haviland, 



Termes trinervius Ramhur, 

 and they will be dealt with in the above order.

The species has been found only in the Botanical Grardens, 

 Durban. The termite appears to nest in the interior of the 

 trunks of trees, but the general economy and the nature of 

 the nest have not been worked out. The termites build 

 covered ways up the trunks of trees, consisting of the red 

 ferruginous sand of the district. 



Imagos have not been discovered, and it is accordingly 

 unwise at present to name th'; species. 



The soldiers and Avorkers closely correspond to tlie descrip-
