its shorter broader form, in its shorter and more scanty 

 pubescence, and in not having the outer margin of the elytra 

 bordered with yellow. It is probably more closely related 

 to D. affinis, from which it differs in the colour as well as in 

 the number of joints of the antennae, and in the presence of 

 the subapical yellow patch on the elytra. 



In addition to the series from Ibadan the British Museum 

 possesses specimens from Onitsha (J. A. de Gaye), whence 

 again it was received in conjunction with D. affinis and C. 

 hermanniae.

Dr. G. D. H. Carpenter's Notes on South-West Uganda 

 and on Late German East Africa West op the Victoria 

 Nyanza. — Prof. Poulton said that he had received several 

 letters and boxes of specimens from Dr. Carpenter, and he felt 

 sure that the Society would be glad to record the observations 

 on this little-known area, made by so keen and all-round a 

 naturalist, and would welcome them all the more warmly 

 because they had been written during the historic expedition 

 of the Belgian Northern Forces. 



At the end of 1914 and during the greater part of 1915 Dr. 

 Carpenter had been resident as Medical Officer at Kakindu, 

 about thirty miles W. of the Victoria Nyanza and about 500 feet 

 above lake level. Kakindu Hill (4046 feet) was in late German 

 E. Africa (about 1° 10' S., 31° 30' E.), a few miles to the N.W. 

 of the Kagera River, from which it was separated by an open 

 grassy plain. The river flowed N.E. with a sinuous course 

 to its mouth on the western shore of the Victoria Nyanza, a 

 little north of the late Anglo-German boundary. Dr. Car- 

 penter was at Kakindu when the communications from him, 

 printed in our Proceedings for 1915, were written (pp. xliv, 

 lxiii, lxiv, lxxv, lxxxiii, lxxxix, xcvii). While at Kakindu 

 Dr. Carpenter made, on Apr. 20-22, 1915, the little expedition 

 to the N.E. described in the following passage : — 



"April 25, 1915, Kakindu. 

 " I had a very interesting little safari, about four miles E. 

 of the Minziro hills, to a hill named Bulembe, a hog's back rising 

 suddenly out of the forest with its S. end abutting on the
