in 1853 and 1865 respectively, and the Micro-Lepidopiera by 

 Zeller in 1852 (or 1854). 



When Mr. Roland Trimen went to the Cape, he took up the 

 study of Butterflies, and in addition to numerous papers, 

 he has published two valuable works, " Rhopalocera Africce 

 Australis " (1862-1866), and "South African Butterflies" 

 (1S87-1S89). 



Oates's " Matabele Land and the Victoria Falls " (two 

 editions, 188 r and 1889), includes figures and descriptions 

 of many Lepidoptera by Westwood and Olliff ; and there are 

 also descriptions and figures of new species in Distant's 

 "Naturalist in the Transvaal " (1892). 



Madagascar, &c. 



Apart from smaller lists and papers, there are no fewer than 

 three very important publications on the Lepidoptera of Mada-

 (1833); the first volumes on Lepidoptera, by Mabille, in 

 Grandidier's " Histoire Physique, Naturelle, et Politique de 

 Madagascar" (1885 and 1887), containing the Butterflies ; and 

 Saalmiiller's " Lepidopteren von Madagascar" (Frankfort-on- 

 Main, 1884 and 1891), which, like Boisduval's work, includes 

 both Butterflies and Moths. 



Some species from Mauritius were included in Boisduval's 

 books ; but as regards one of the adjacent islands, a list of 

 Lepidoptera by Guenee was included in the second volume ot 

 Maillard's " Notes sur File de Reunion " (1862). 



Crossing to the cast coast of Africa, the next important 

 book which demands our attention is Peters' " Reise nach 

 Mossanibique." The fifth volume of Zoology (1862) is dexoted 

 to Insecta and Myriopoda, and includes a section on Lepi- 

 doptera by Hopffer. Further north, (ierstaecker, in \'on der 

 Deckcn's " Reisen in Ost-Afrika " (vol iii., pt. 2, 1873), has
