One case is reported at Lille, in France, 40 miles from the coast, but at 
no great height above sea-level. The evidence supporting the tidal claim 
of this well is far from satisfactory. 
It is believed that there is no other record of an inland well showing 
fluctuations of true tidal periodicity.

" Addendum to Eevised List of the Flora of Natal," by Mr. J. Medley 
Wood. 
" Descriptions of Some New Batrachia and Lacertilia from South 
Africa," by Mr. J. Hewitt and Hon. P. A. Methuen. 
Natalohatrachus bonebergi, gen. and sp. nov. Belongs to the family 
Eanidae, and related generically to Phrynobatrachtis, Staurois, and Oreo- 
batrachus ; distinguishable from the two former by possession of T-shaped 
terminal phalanges and from Oreobatrachus in that the tongue is deeply 
incised behind and in that there is no continuous dermal fold between the 
chroanae. 
Bufo fenotilheti, sp. n. Eelated to B. regularis and B. vertebmlis ; to 
be distinguished from the former by the absence of granulations on the 
belly and in the double sub-articular tubercles of the digits ; from the 
latter through the better developed parotoids and the stronger development 
of asperities on the dorsal surface. 
Tetradactylus easttvoodae, sp. n. Eelated to T. breyeri, Eouz, but dis- 
tinct from that species by the limb characters. The forelimb possesses 
three very small digits, all provided with a claw ; the posterior limb has two 
digits, all clawed, the inner digit minute. 
Zonurus coeruleopunctatus, sp. n. Distinct from other members of this 
genus by the small scales of the post-parietal region. 
" Notes on Namaqualand Bushmen," by Miss L. Currle. 
The account is taken from a gentleman whose early life afforded him 
ample facilities for obtaining a clear insight into the characteristics of 
Cape Colony Bushmen. Their wandering life is noted, also their mode 
of existence, the K'we by means of which they procure white ants, their 
dress and adornments. Nothing comes amiss to them, eating hyaena, 
jackal, reptiles, and worms. Huts they never build, making only a frail
