The numbers prefixed to the names of sjiecles in the first part 

 of the memoir are those of Hampson's ' Catalogue of Lepidoptera 

 Phalaense in the British Museum,' the position of new species 

 being indicated by letters added to the numbers of the most 

 closely allied species in the Catalogue. Thus species 2094« would 

 immediately follow 2094 in the Arctianae of the Catalogue. 



The specimens were collected at the following localities, of 

 which the descriptions have been kindly furnished by Mi". 

 Feather : — 



Mandera. 



Forty-seven miles south-west of Berbera, alt. 3000 ft. 



Eocks, gi'ey and red granite. 



Open and bnsh country, bush being mainly made up of thorny 

 trees, nearly all flat-topped Acacias or Mimosa. Big areas 

 covered with fibre-plants {Sanseveria ehrenhergi). 



Gan Libbah. 



(The " Lion's Paw.") 



In the Golis Mts., seven miles east of Mandera, alt. 5800 ft. 



Rock, limestone (Jui-assic). 



Good patches of big trees, mainly Juniper ; also Euphorbias. 



Good grass land with scarcely any thorn-bush. 



BUGGAN. 



Ten miles south of Mandera, alt. 3500 ft. 



Rock, granite. 



Thorn country, fairly open : few big wild Fig-trees. 



Hargaisa. 



One hundred and twenty miles south-west of Berbera, alt. 



4000 ft. 

 Bush and trees same as Mandera, but a little denser. Bigger 



areas of Sanseveria ehreiibergi. 



Berbera. 



All the moths I captured at Berbera were taken in the 

 Bungalow at light. This was close to the sea ; the maritime 

 plain is very thinly covered with a low-growing thorn- 

 bush. 



Rock, coralline limestone. 



Durbar. 



Nine miles south of Berbera, alt. 400 ft. 

 Rock, limestone. 



Open land, few Palms with some rough grass. 

 Durbar is really the waterworks for Berbera, and at one time 

 there was a poor sort of Govei-nment garden there.
