376 Drs. Dixey and Longstaff’s Observations 
Khoina bilateralis, Thunb., was found on flowers, and 
Eurynotus muricatus, Karby, under bark. 
The Coreid bug Serinetha amista, Germ., seems to mimic 
a Lycus. Another bug taken was the Reduviid Harpactor 
segmentarius, Germ. 
Locusts were rather common, conspicuous among them 
was a very fine specimen of the large, heavy and sluggish 
Phymateus leprosus, Serv., more glaucous than those taken 
at Ladysmith, so as to match more closely the light- 
coloured sand. The beautiful apple-green Tryxalis stale, 
Boliv., darker above, paler beneath, as is so often the 
case, was found at the verge of vegetation, while an 
abundant grasshopper found on the bare sand was highly 
cryptic. A curiously formed small Hemerobiid Neuropteron, 
Mantispa ? tenella, Erichs., was taken on the wing; when 
seen for the first time its resemblance to a Mantis is very 
striking. 
Perhaps the locality was too much exposed for butterflies, 
at all events they were neither numerous nor remarkable :— 
Amauris albimaculata, Butl., 2; Hurytela hiarbas, Dru., 
within 100 yards of the sea; Byblia goetzius, Herbst, 2, 
dry ; Psewdonympha cassius, Godt.; Argiolaus silas, West., 
9; Mylothris riippellii, Koch, 2; Pinacopteryx charina, 
Boisd.; Colias electra, Linn.; Teracolus omphale, Godt., &, 
and the Skipper Hretis djxlele, Wallgr. A Geometer, 
Obocola inconclusaria, Walk., $, and the Lymantriad Aroa 
discalis, Walk., which was common flying about the scrub, 
were the only moths. 
The lights at the hotel yielded only Dorylus helvolus, 
Linn., ¢¢%; the very widely distributed Acidalud Jdea 
fibulata, Guen., and one or two moths not yet named. 
The cosmopolitan Dermestes vulpinus, Fabr., shared the 
hotel accommodation with us, while Acanthia lectularia, 
Linn., was even more intimate ! 
Thus ended our delightful collecting at East London, a 
place less known entomologically than many others in 
South Africa. 
Port ELIZABETH, CAPE CoLONy. SECOND VISIT. 
Lat. 34° 0'S. Sept. 30, 1905. 
The stoppage on the return voyage gave us a long 
morning’s collecting ; but an accident separated us, so that 
while one visited Humewood, about a mile and a half to
