At the last meeting' I submitted ;i list of some of tlie host- 

 plants of the Loi-a/ithaceae occurring- around Durban. t Since 

 then every endeavour has been made to obtain further host- 

 plants of these parasites. The additions in the list now 

 submitted make the liost-plants fairly complete for the locality 

 studied, and the two lists ccmibined are the most complete index 

 of host-})lants yet available for South African Lorantluiceae. 

 It would be interesting to prei)are similar lists for other 

 localities and tlius ultimately include all the species of 

 Loranthaccde occurring in South Africa. The introduced 

 plants in the i)resent list are again marked with an 

 asterisk (*) : —
