Extract

Until 13th March I remained in the Proclaimed Area, then, as the weather condition were very bad, and as moreover the grass had so overgrown all the paths, which are little used, that my movements were very much hampered, I removed to Fort Johnston at the southern extremity of the Lake, and have since been working in its neighbourhood.

Stannus, and in North Nyasa by Dr. J. B. Davey. It has also been received from Embu, Mt. Kenia, British East Africa (G. St. Orde Brown) and Minna, N, Nigeria (Dr. J. J. Simpson).—Ed.]

page 257 note * [A large number of these Chalcids were bred subsequently by Dr. Lamborn from a tsetse pupa and proved to be Syntomosphyrum glossinae, Wtrst. There seems little doubt now that this species is harmful, being a hyperparasite of Mutilla glossinae.—Ed.]
