and Captures in South Africa in 1905. 331 
leave the luxurious carriages of the Government Railway was 
INCHANGA, 2,470 feet above sea level. Here on some 
sandy ground near a stream bordered by rushes and coarse 
grass or on a bank with a few flowers (? Senecio sp.) we took 
a “dry” specimen of the Satyrid Psewdonympha cassius, 
Godt.; a wasp prettily marked with rich brown, black and 
white, Polistes fastidiosus, Sauss., S; a handsome Braconid, 
LIphiaulax whiter, Cameron; and an apple-green Mantis 
larva; also by sweeping the Senecio, etc., two Apis mellifica, 
Linn., race adansonit, Latr., 6; an Asilid ? Dysmachus sp., 
and the grasshopper Catantops melanostictus, Schaum. 
We spent the night at the Falls of the Umgeni, at 
Howick, Lat. 29° 28’ §., 3,400 feet above sea level, and 
before dark turned over a few basalt stones, taking a number 
of ants, Pheidole irritans, Smith; two Blaite with a very 
strong, sweet, rather pleasant scent, suggesting pear-drops 
(or amyl acetate), they were immature, possibly of a new 
species (R. Shelford); a small beetle, Huleptus caffer, Boh., 
and an <Acridian, at present unnamed. It was cold at 
night here. 
August 23, 1905.—At Moot River Station, Lat. 29° 
17 8., alt. 4,600 feet, we took a solitary Acridian only. 
At Estcourt, Lat. 29° 2’S,, alt. 3,800 feet, on an open 
grassy place near the Station we were rather more suc- 
cessful. Two males of Synchloé hellica, Linn., were secured ; 
they were noticed when at rest to withdraw the fore- 
wings completely between the hind-wings, and to raise 
the abdomen. We also took a small Syntomid (as yet 
unnamed), a Lady-bird, Lpilachna similis, Thunb.; two 
ants, Camponotus cosmicus, Smith, and a locust Z'relo- 
plidia, sp.; this was discovered by Mr. G. A. K. Marshall, 
and declared by Senor Bolivar to be a new species, but it 
has not yet been named by him. 
CoLEnso, Lat. 28° 46’S., alt. 3,200 feet. The late after- 
noon was spent on the low ground south of the Tugela, 
between the river and the spot where Col. Long’s guns 
were abandoned. The only butterflies seen were Pyrameis 
cardui and Limnas chrysippus. Several moths were 
kicked up, the Boarmid Geometers Osteodes turbulenta, 
Guen., two; Zamarada pulverosa, Warr., one ; and Nassunia 
petavia, Stoll, a male; also two tiny Noctuze with yellow 
hind-wings, Pseudosterrha sperans, Feld.; a Crambus and 
two Micros, none of them yet named. Two immature
