Driving from Tizi-Ouzou up the valley of Oued Sebaou, 

 a bush of Zizyphus lotus (vi. 13) at the parting of the road 

 to Mekla, was thronged by Aculeata, some of which were 

 secured. There is now a tram-line to Azazga. 



Azazga (June 13th and Aug. 30th to Sept. 24th, 1893) 

 adjoins the Foret de Yakouren, the largest forest of cork 

 and other oaks in the Province d' Alger. Olives, vines 

 and cereals are the prevailing cultures. Altitude about 

 1400 feet.

 Forestier on the road to Yakouren village, which is 

 distant twelve kilometres from Azazga, and at an altitude 

 of about 2677 feet. 



Plants cited. — Echium (vi. 11) ; Eryngium tricuspidatum 

 (ix.); Inula viscosa (ix.) ; Carlina racemosa (viii. 30 — ix.);

 or near the town, at altitudes of about 2800 to 3500 feet. 



On the railway (l'Est Algerien) from Algiers to Constan- 

 tino, during short halts of the train, a few bees were 

 obtained at Mechta-el-Arbi, on Chicorium intybus and 

 Marrubium vulgare, and at Telerma (otherwise Telergma) 

 on Asphodelus micro-carpus (v. 16, 1893) growing in rail- 

 way sidings. At Setif (vi. 5, 1893), at 6.30 A.M., a stroll to 

 the outskirts of the town yielded very little (altitude about 

 3590 feet). 



Constantine (Sept. 30th to Nov. 3rd, 1893 ; June 11th to 

 23rd ; Oct. 10th to Nov. 17th, and Dec. 5th to 15th, 1894;
