and Captures in South Africa in 1905. 365 
Sept. 24, 1905. SHanxs Sration (EK. of Steynsburg 
Junction), c. 5,000 feet; a cricket was found under a stone, 
and in like situations six beetles, Zrigonopus, sp., not in 
the National Collection; the Carabids, Harpalus xantho- 
graphus, Wied. and H. sub-aéneus, Dej.; and the 
Chrysomelid, Polysticta 24-signata, Thunb., three speci- 
mens ; as well as a number of the pungent ant, Acantholepis 
vestita, Sraith. 
HANNINGTON STATION,, alt. 5,170 feet; the same 77igo- 
nopus, another Polysticta 24-signata, Thunb., and Harpalus 
Jusco-aéneus, De}j., were found under stones. 
CONTAL STATION, a few miles Kast of Hannington, alt. 
c. 5,200 feet; under an old sleeper, three beetles were taken: 
the same Zrigonopus that had been met with earlier in 
the day, Harpalus rufo-cinctus, Chaud., and a Carabid near 
to Percus, not in the British Museum. 
STORMBERG JUNCTION, lat. 31° 28’S.; alt. 5,300 feet; a 
few hundred yards from the station we saw swarms of a 
purplish-grey locust with yellowish-drab wings and yellow 
hind tibie, Acridiwum pardalinum, Walk. We had seen 
several flights shortly before reaching the station, but now 
we got amongst them. They did not fly very far, and the 
swarms were many rather than excessively large. The 
wings of those captured were much frayed, presumably by 
long flight and knocking against obstacles, but it is quite 
possible that individuals with damaged wings were more 
easily caught than the sounder specimens. 
Turning over stones was fairly productive, as it yielded 
Harpalus rufo-cinctus, Chaud. ( = rufo-marginatus, Boh.), 
seven; H. natalensis, Boh., four; H. clavipes, Boh., two; 
H. sub-aéneus, Dej., two; H. fusco-aéneus, De}j., three; the 
red and black ister cruentus, Erichs., four under one 
stone; two other Carabids not yet named; Polyhirma 
gracilis, Dej., one; the two weevils, Rhytirrhinus litura- 
tus, Fahr., and Stramia ? fahrai, Fst., one each, as well as 
an immature female of Blatta orientalis, Linn., and two 
very large ants, Acantholepis vestita, Smith. A specimen 
of Pyrameis cardut, Linn., was taken on the hill-side, but 
the day was scarcely fitted for butterflies. 
Lower INCLINE STATION, c. 4,500 feet; five or six speci- 
mens of Polysticta 24-signata, Thunb., were found close 
together under a stone. 
QUEENSTOWN, Cape Colony, lat. 31° 50’ S.; alt. 3,500 
feet. In the Public Gardens just before dark a large
