The present paper is the result of an examination of a con- 

 siderable amount of material collected from different places in 

 South Africa by Dr. E. Warren, Director of the Natal Museum, 

 and by Mr. James Gibson, of Durban, Natal. 



On a visit to the Victoria Falls, Rhodesia, in May, 1908, 

 Dr. Warren took the opportunity of making a few gatherings 

 from the still pools in the immediate neighbourhood of the 

 Falls. The pools were situated on the north bank, about 

 fifteen yards from the edge of the Zambezi River and a quarter 

 of a mile above the Falls. 



At the end of January, 1908, Dr. Warren took numerous 

 nettings from cattle pools, vleis and pans in the neighbour- 

 hood of Mont-aux-Sources, Drakensberg Mountains. These 

 were taken at various altitudes on the side of the Orange Free 

 State near to Witzies Hoek. A pan not far from Harrismith 

 was also examined. 



It was desired to ascertain whether the Entomostracan 

 fauna of the high altitudes of S.E. Africa resembled the 

 flora in exhibiting a special i-elationship with the fauna of 

 Australasia, but there appears to be no marked connection. 



In January, 1912, several gatherings were made at Port 

 St. John, Pondoland, in a vlei close to the local prison.
