and Captures in South Africa in 1905. 381 
obtained ; the latter was worn and appeared to be of the 
wet-season form. An as yet undetermined moth (? Psewdo- 
sterrha sp.), a grasshopper and a few very ordinary flies, 
Hristalis tenax, Fabr., Catabomba sp. and Co alliphora 
vomitoria, Linn., were the only other things taken. 
Thus ended our eight weeks in Africa, resulting in the 
capture of some 2,500 specimens of all orders. So ex- 
tensive is the fauna and so far from being exhausted that 
even in this scamper (for our journey may well be so 
designated), several new species were taken, while there 
remain a number of insects not yet worked out which 
almost certainly include several other novelties. 
Our sincere thanks are due to Professor E. B, Poulton, 
F.R.S.; to the assistants of the Hope Department; to Mr. 
C. O. Waterhouse and all the staff of the Entomological 
Department of the Natural History Museum; to Com- 
mander J. J. Walker, Colonel J. W. Yerbury, Mr. W. L. 
Distant, Mr. R. Trimen, F.R.S., Mr. M. Jacoby, Mr. G. H. 
Verrall, and Mr. L. Péringuey, for their assistance in 
naming our specimens. ‘l’o Sir George F. Hampson, Bart., 
Col. C. T. Bingham, Mr. Guy A. K. Marshall, and Mr. R. 
Shelford, our special thanks are due for describing new 
species.
