- Description: The influence of temperature on the bionomics of Bulinus (Physopsis) globosus, Biomphalaria pfeifferi and Lymnaea natalensis has been studied both in the laboratory under controlled conditions and in the field under normal seasonal influences. Field studies were carried out in two different localities, one a semi-permanent pond and the other a temporary waterbody. For this purpose a sampling implement was developed. The results show the seasonal progression of these populations both with respect to estimated numbers and the size distribution of the snails. The rate of actual increase at different seasons was calculated for the three species where the data were sufficient. In the laboratory the snails were maintained at various temperatures, other conditions being kept standard. Daily records of mortality and fecundity of various cohorts reared from the egg stage enabled the compilation of life tables fof the speciesand from these data were calcualted the intrinsic rate of natural increase and other parameters. Effects of crowding in aquaria were studied. From the data obtained in the laboratory it was possible to predict the distribution and population potential for each species for snail of various environmental conditions. These predictions were, in fact, confirmed by field observation.

The dark areas on the slopes are protea trees. Those on top had been burned out. Such thickets would have been more widespread in the past. Below are some Protea multibracteata plants. The thickets of subvestita were burnt out in the late 1960's to make way for stock grazing.

After the last song, it is surprising to find that this is played on the same instrument, the key or mode seems to be quite different. "He-he-he laughing! He-he-he on the path! Do not be surprise if you see the Buzi river brown, It was because Manyati washed his gums. It is really me they are talking about. The little girl has disappointed me, She told me to wash myself so that we could be lovers; So I waited to be the first to wash in the pool." Spoken: "This is why the girls all laugh at us!"
