 zoology. The name occurs again and again in the literature,

 thought advisable that a series from so interesting a locality 

 should be obtained by Mr. Grant as part of Mr. C. D. Rudd's 

 magnificent exploration of South African zoology. 



Mr. Grant therefore went to Knysna in December 1904, and 

 stayed until the middle of January 1905, when he went for a

 which he again worked at Knysna until April 23rd, when he 

 left for tlie Transvaal. He was thus in the Knysna district
