Very few remarkable finds were among this material and many 

 of them were in rather broken condition. I think if more collecting 

 was done with suitable light at night not only would the material 

 have been more numerous, but also of a more interesting nature. 

 Presumably nearly all these specimens were collected in the daytime, 

 as the moths were disturbed in the bush. This would also account 

 for the preponderance of the Pyraustinae and especially of Margaronia. 

 Yet this country ought to yield many interesting forms, which would 

 throw light on the connection between the South African and Medi- 

 terranean regions. Systematic collecting with that point in view 

 seems highly desirable.
