where. P. } ufata and P. houcardi are also taken here on 

 the sand, but rarely. P. sernisnttirata is found every 

 where and is our commonest local species. The allied 

 F. maclJentu is abundant in parts of Matabeleland, but 

 does not occur here. P. alveolata and r. plantei I have 

 received from Matabeleland, but they are not found any 

 where near Salisbury. Of the very rare P. suturella, Ohd. 

 I have one example from Beira. 



Our local Anthias are the common and well known 

 species — .1. omoplata and its var. algoensis, A. massili- 

 cata, A. petcrsi. King, (hurchelli^ Hope,) A. thoracica, 

 A, pachyoma and A. circumscripta, all of which are com- 

 mon here. 



A. cephalotes is found in the Victoria district and also 

 near Umvuma, and 1 have received the var. aequilatera 

 from the Mafungabusi, north of Gwelo. The varieties 

 ovanipoa and cJesertorum are common in the South of 

 Matabeleland, and A. cinciipeunis is found near T^mvuma.

This Tribe is ])ooi'ly represented at Salisbury, only four 

 species having been recorded from this neighbourhood 

 Two of these — Macrotclus pcrsiinilis and Taeniolohus

 found occasionally in the rainy season, and S. aestuans 

 was taken here last year. 



Tribe Clivinini. 



Of this Tribe we have six representatives, two of which 

 — Clirina frrandis and C. pcrplcni — are locally abundant
