  1919, 
  at 
  Talodi, 
  by 
  Lt.-Col. 
  R. 
  S.

  in 
  con- 
  

   tinuation

  " 
  Whilst 
  at 
  Talodi 
  I 
  had 
  a 
  couple 
  of 
  Fridays 
  out, 
  one 
  at 
  

   Tereida 
  and 
  one 
  at 
  Sallamat. 
  The 
  black 
  skipper 
  Sarangesa 
  

   J,aelius, 
  Mab., 
  is 
  about 
  in 
  enormous 
  numbers 
  both 
  in 
  hollow 
  

   trees 
  and 
  in 
  well 
  mouths, 
  native 
  underground 
  grain 
  stores 
  

   and 
  any 
  other 
  similar 
  places 
  just 
  now. 
  With 
  it 
  is 
  associated 
  

   a 
  species 
  with 
  yellow 
  on 
  the 
  under 
  surface 
  — 
  S. 
  eliminata, 
  HolL, 
  

   or 
  pertusa, 
  Mab., 
  which 
  occurs 
  in 
  the 
  proportion 
  of 
  about 
  one 
  

   to 
  a 
  hundred 
  of 
  the 
  black 
  ones. 
  The 
  skippers, 
  in 
  this 
  pro- 
  

   portion, 
  were 
  present 
  in 
  incredible 
  numbers 
  at 
  Goghran, 
  

   between 
  Talodi 
  and 
  Torga, 
  in 
  the 
  mouth 
  of 
  a 
  well 
  and 
  inside 
  

   some 
  iron 
  tanks 
  — 
  dry 
  but 
  intended 
  for 
  storing 
  water." 
  Among 
  

   the 
  specimens 
  in 
  the 
  accompanying 
  box 
  was 
  an 
  example, 
  ex- 
  

   hibited 
  to 
  the 
  meeting, 
  of 
  each 
  of 
  the 
  above 
  Hesperidae, 
  bearing 
  

   the

  " 
  10.1.19.

  Tree."

  The

  that's
