Barber, one taken near King William's Town by Miss Fanny Bowker in 
1869, and the others by Mrs. Barber herself while travelling through the north- 
eastern portion of the Colony in 1872. Mrs. Barber confirms her brother's 
account of the habits of /. Mimosce, and adds that both it and /. Boivli'eri 
chiefly haunt the mistletoe (Loranthus sp.), which so generally infests the 
mimosa trees. 
Mr. J. P. Mansel Weale sent me an excellent drawing of a $ that he cap- 
tured at Cradock in December 1866 on a " thorn tree " {Acacia horrida).
