pp. 193-218. 
An interesting popular account of the habits of Pachytylus pardalinus 
in South Africa. Quite a number of species of birds follow the swarms 
to feed upon these insects, and the Bushmen and Bakalhari, native tribes, 
devour them voraciously, the latter preparing a sort of flour from them 
which is stored up for future use ; the Dutch settlers sometimes collect 
them for feeding poultry. A Dipterous insect is a parasite on them.
