moored in the river, and the ship
lights drew in these specimens
from the surrounding disturbed
countryside, being a bit
out of range for the true
undisturbed Sunderban jungle.
The diurnal temperature wandered
between 90°-100° F, and
never cooled quite to 80° F at
night. Humidity remained
very high.

600 specimens.

Seletar Reservoir, located on
north-central Singapore Island,
is surrounded by a fairly
large forested area. Low,
rolling hills are densely
covered by evergreen jungle.
The trees are rather smaller
in stature than the virgin
timber in the Bukit Timah
Reserve, and much Pandanus
and other undergrowth makes
much of the forest nearly
impenetrable. The area was
quite moist from periodic
rains several days earlier.
Weather - clear and hot -
90°F, humidity high.

Most specimens were collected
in filtered shade in the
forest understory, though some
were taken along the lake shore
and along a small road pene-
trating the thicket.
