CORRESPONDENCE.

Interesting Letter from Singapore.

The following letter from Mr. Benton,from Singapore, will be read with interest.That city is a great seaport nearthe Islands of Borneo and Java. Mr.Benton’s search after those large bees—Apisdorsata—is a herculean task,and his trip thither will be well wortha place in history. Here is the letter:

Friend Jones: When in Ceylon Iplunged into the jungles, first in this directionand then in that, and followedout every clue that I could obtain; yetalthough on every side I was told thereexisted “a large bee,” which the nativescall bambera, it was not until just beforeI came away that I ascertained anythingreliable regarding the habits andwhereabouts of this wonderful insect,which I feel safe in saying is the longtalked of Apis dorsata itself; thoughit was too late for me to get to theplaces where I could see this bee andstill reach this steamer. As I return toCeylon, and am likely to see Apis dorsataelsewhere also, I comforted myselfregarding the disappointment experiencedat not seeing this bambera beforemy re-embarkation.

I will speak in the order of their size,of the bees found in Ceylon, giving theCingalese names used there.
