 Daniaraland to Litlle JSTamaqualaud, the Northern and Eastern 

 districts of Cape Colony, the Orange River Colony, and the Transvaal.

 be well understood without a larger series of specimens, from much 

 more numerous localities, than has been available to me. As hinted 

 above, I am inclined to think the division into Forma ti/picn and var. 

 jridchella will have to be dropped.
