Barber, one taken near King William's Town by Miss Fanny Bowker in 

 1 869, and the others by Mrs. Barber herself while travelling through the north- 

 eastern portion of the Colony in 1872. Mrs. Barber confirms her brother's 

 account of the habits of /. Alimosce, and adds that both it and /. Bowl-eri 

 chiefly haunt the mistletoe {Lorantlms sp.), which so generally infests the 

 mimosa trees. 



Mr. J. P. Mansel Weale sent me an excellent dra\\ing of a 9 that he cap- 

 tured at Cradock in December 1866 on a "thorn tree " [Acacia liorrida).
