However, after a number of experiments I began to succeed, and am doing very well now, so I wish I had persevered longer on Japoo in July. " One great drawback was the nervousness brought on by overmuch climbing. Every night I went out with baits I never slept a wink, and my men were afraid of tigers and Nagas, and scamped their work unless I was with them. I had previously thought that Bombyces never came to baits, except Syntomis, and a few Agaris-tidse and Arctiidse, any more than the Tineidse do. Now I think that nearly all Moths (Macros) will occasionally come to good baits well placed, except perhaps Saturniidse, which apparently never feed. " Sweet baits I find best for Noctuas and nasty ones for Geometers and Pyrales. The greatest difficulty is that the best baits will only attract Moths from a short distance, not like lights, and consequently to obtain good species one must put them in virgin forest, so that the fatigue and worry is enormous. " O n the other hand, I have concluded that lights are a failure. Taken into the jungle my big lamps simply frighten away Moths, and even in a white tent they only attract a few little Noctuae. I am inclined to think that Moths have to be gradually accustomed to lights. In a large station they get used to coming to lighted houses, especially those that are lighted every night. At Kohima the dak bungalow is far better situated for Moths than any other house, and m y lamps were the best in the station, but I always had to go to other peoples' houses for Moths. In coffee-plantations the Moths would keep beating agaist the windows of the bungalow, though there might be only a candle or two inside, while my tent in the jungle close by, lit with a good lamp, attracted not a single insect." These notes will be very interesting and useful to collectors, but the Moths collected in the Naga Hills are far too numerous to be described in this paper, although I hope to deal with them as soon as possible. After leaving the Naga Hills Mr. Doherty spent six weeks in Calcutta and Darjiling and then proceeded to Perak, where he stayed but a short time. As this locality is well known and I have mentioned the most interesting of his captures in their order, I need say nothing more. After leaving Perak he went to Rangoon and started on an expedition to the Karen Hills, where he remained for some weeks at Peti-chaung, and wrote to me as follows on April 16th :- " I have been collecting since March 17th in the Karen Hills east of Toungoo. I see Mr. Grose Smith has described some Karen species sent him by Mr. Noble, who does not know exactly where they came from. I think it was from Kaserdo or Kacherdo, called by the Burmese Taung-gyi,' the big hill' ; an isolated hill 1500 feet high 10 miles east of Toungoo, and quite in the plain of Pegu. My collection is from several places 30 or 40 miles east of Toungoo. I would label everything simply 'East Pegu' with the elevation, as the |
