352 CONCLUDING REMARKS. 



route, placing them between sheets of paper or the leaves of 

 books. As a means of verifying obscure and scarce species, 

 these examples have been of great value. 



To J. J. Muskett, Esq., M.R G.S., of Murraysburg, I am 

 indebted for many insects from that remote District of the 

 Colony. The collections sent to me by this gentleman and 

 Mrs. Muskett (formerly Miss Wentworth) include several 

 species new to science, and have been of much service in 

 ascertaining more thoroughly the geographical range of many 

 forms. 



My acquaintance with the Hhopalocera of Caledon is due 

 to the kindness of John X. Merriman, Esq., who while sur- 

 veying in that Division of the Colony, lost no opportunity of 

 procuring and forwarding specimens. 



Two Officers of H. M. 10th Regiment, Captain G. E. Bul- 

 ger, and R. G. Southey, Esq., have rendered me constant 

 assistance, not only during their stay at the Cape, but also 

 since being stationed at Bangalore, in the Madras Presidency. 

 A case of Mr. Southey's captures, lately received, has afford- 

 ed me the welcome opportunity of comparing with South 

 African specimens Indian examples of several species common 

 to both regions. 



I have received from H J. Atherstone, Esq., of Highlands, 

 near Graham's Town, many Butterflies of interest, not only 

 from his immediate vicinity but also from the Coast of the 

 Bathurst District. Mr. Atherstone has been most careful to 

 note particulars of the localities and seasons of appearance, a 

 knowledge of which adds so greatly to the value of specimens. 



D. Kannemeyer, Jim., Esq., has favoured me with some 

 excellent notes on the habits of Cape Butterflies, as well as 

 with a few specimens collected at Burghersdorp, in the 

 Albett District. 



From John L Fry, Esq., now at Port Elizabeth, I have 

 received a number of Lepidoptera, one case of specimens 

 from the mouth of the Kowie River being of peculiar interest. 



I owe to W. F. Kirby, Esq , of the Entomological Society 

 of London, the knowledge and subsequent possession of two 

 Continental works* on African Lepidoptera which have 

 proved of the utmost value to me, viz. : Hopffer's article on 

 the Lepidoptera in Dr. Peters " Naturwissenschaftliche Reise
