160 THE VICTORIAN NATURALIST. 



during our enforced stay at St. James, we again searched for insects, 

 but after spending some time in turning over hundreds of logs, we 

 were unable to find a single specimen, whether the few days of warm 

 weather had sent them burrowing into the ground we cannot say, 

 but the fact remains that there were none to be seen. Half-past 

 ten on Tuesday evening saw us again in the city of the south, and 

 it was not long before we reached our homes, and quickly to bed, 

 there to recover from the fatigues of a fourteen hours journey, and 

 fit ourselves for the resumption of our usual and necessary occupations 

 at 9 o'clock on the following morning.
