When the author was in England I asked him if he 

 would kindly give me his general impressions of the rela- 

 tive abundance of the chief members of this important 

 combination. At Rabai, A. natalica was the commonest, 

 and then the following species arranged in the order 

 of their abundance : — Fseudoxrssa. trimenii, Acrxa, acara, 

 A. a/nemom, A. areca. At Taveta, on the other hand, 

 where no.talica swarms, the PsevAacrssa. was the rarest, and 

 no definite impreiision remained of the relative numbers 

 of the others. In the neighbourhood of Taita, rco.talica 

 was the commonest species, and a.reca. next, while the 

 Pseudacrmo. was not seen. 



It is important to bear in mind these impressions, 

 founded on an experience going back to 1898, when study- 

 ing the table printed above.
