432 Mr. C. O. Bart Wtarsons Five Years’ Observations 
Perhaps the next direct mail will get there before it. I 
haven’t time to put up a box, but I wouldn’t have risked it 
anyhow. I am glad to say that I had no mails on the 
“ Apapa,” that I know of at least, and I believe my last 
parcel bas got safely home. ‘Two or three of the Decatomas 
were unique and I haven’t got duplicates to send. 
I got the papers from the Entomological Society, and have 
to thank you so much for getting me elected to its fellowship. 
March 2, 1918.—The ‘“‘ Appam ” (now called the “* Man- 
dingo ’’) took home the Decatomas. I hope these will get 
as good luck. I only wish I had more to send. 
April 28, 1918.—The Decatomas apparently complicate 
the original complex. I wish I could have got pairs, but 
it was impossible. The Ibadan ones are now beginning to 
appear, and I hope to make a collection of pairs this season.

tabulated below according to locality and also the order of 
time. Precise dates are not available.
