except think about the treasures I have caught, and wonder 

 when I shall have a chance of working them up. At one 

 time I thought I might be coining home this winter, but they 

 are not letting any doctor men home on leave. 



" I hope I shan't be kept here long. I am now nowhere 

 near any kind of ' front.' All the future fighting will be in 

 the S.E. part of the country, south of the railway, which is 

 now entirely in the hands of the allies and being used by us.

" Yes, I had thought that the smaller yellow, orange-tipped 

 Pierine [Teracolus incretus, Butl.] might be associated with 

 Eronia leda, Boisd. 



" I went about 150 miles along the ' Central Railway ' to 

 a case of Blackwater Fever, about a week ago and have only 

 just got back. I was glad to see the railway (which is, 

 naturally, of great use to us now). It seems to have been 

 built ' regardless,' and everything is most solid and expensive. 

 Every little station (about 10 miles apart) has a stone and 

 concrete building. But what the stations are for no one can 

 tell : they are just islands in the midst of most hopeless 

 thick bush — mile after mile of it — and it's the most extra- 

 ordinary contrast between a journey on this line and one on 

 the Uganda Railway. There are giraffe and a few big antelope 

 and lions, but I saw none of them. The bush can't even 

 produce butterflies ! I am sending to Wiggins a small box 

 of sundry insects and asking him to forward it to you. I 

 hope the few butterflies may be of interest : perhaps the 

 skipper that frequents ant-bear holes may be so, also a 

 Liptenine [Teriomima pallida. Trim.] which looked like a <J 

 Lymantrid (e.g. 'Vapourer') on the wing." The species of 

 Sarangesa mentioned in Proc. Ent. Soc, 1916, pp. cxxix, 

 cxxx, were included in this box. Two S. pertusa, Mab., 

 and 4 S. synestalmenus, Karsch, were .labelled "In ant-bear 

 hole; noon. July 23, 1916," at Namirembe Bay, S.W.Victoria 

 Nyanza, and 1 synestalmenus " In ant-bear hole, noon, 

 32° 20' E., 3° 20' S." Capt. Carpenter was in a temporary 

 camp a1 this locality and the dale was Aug. 8 14, 1916. A 

 little earlier on Aug. ], at 32° E., 3° S., he found a male of
