and Captures in South Africa in 1905. 317 
The Ocean View Hotel in the residential suburb called 
THE BEREA is perhaps 200 feet above the sea; its garden 
yielded a few of the commoner butterflies—Papilio dar- 
danus, Brown, a male, Precis clelia, Cram., Mycalesis safitza, 
Hew., both sexes, and Zizera lucida, Trim., a male. 
Lanes and bits of open ground near the hotel, still 
retaining much of the character of the primeval scrub, 
afforded fair collecting. It was in such a place that we 
were much excited at beating out our first Salamas 
anacardvi, Linn., a large greenish nymphaline very leaf-like 
on the under-side and with a peculiar satiny sheen that 
gives it a very tropical aspect. There we found late in the 
afternoon both sexes of Limnas chrysippus, Linn.; with 
them were less familiar butterflies, Acrwa terpsichore, Linn. 
(=buxtoni, Butl.) several (they feigned death in the net); 
A. cabira, Hopff., one ; a pair of Precis sesamus, 'Trim,; an 
example of Hurytela hiarbas, Dru.; also several specimens 
of Bybli« goetzius, Herbst, of both sexes, all more or less 
“dry” in character ; this butterfly flies rather quickly low 
down and settles usually on the ground under a bush, but 
is easily disturbed. We also took at the Berea two males 
of Belenois severina, Cram.; two males and a female of 
Mylothris agathina, Cram.; and one of each sex of ZLerias 
reguiaris, Butl. Of smaller things we took one each of 
Zizera lysimon, Hiibn., and Gegenes zetterstedti, Wallgr., and 
beating produced a Geometer, not yet identified. 
The glow-lights of the Hotel only yielded the Boarmid 
Tephrina arenosa, Butl., and two Noctus :—Ophiusa 
mejanest, Guen. (a moth that occurs in India, coming 
very near to Walker’s type of expedita, a species sunk by 
Sir George Hampson), and Hulaphygma micra, Hmpsn. 
A humble fly, Homalomyia canicularis, Linn., was an 
inmate of the Hotel. 
Sandy banks by the roadside were haunted by various 
Fossors, two of which, Liris hemorrhoidalis, Fabr., a male, 
and Pompilus diversus, Smith, a female, exhibit Lycoid 
coloration, the last-named more especially with its yellow- 
brown wings tipped with black. With these were two 
Dielis fasciatella, Hiibn., both males. The Syrphid fly, 
Hristalis teniops, Wied., was too handsome to be passed by. 
The first of his favourite localities to which Mr. Millar 
directed us was the old Cemetery at SYDENHAM. About 
three miles to the north of Durban, it lies on the north 
(sunny) side of a hill sloping very gradually towards the
