Note on Mr. Buxton's collections. — Mr. E. C. Buxton, who brought home a 

 large number of specimens of the genus Callosune (Pieridce) from South Africa, was 

 naturally anxious that some new species should be found amongst them. 



He took them first to Mr. Labrey, who studied them cai-efully, but without 

 success. He brought them to me for the same purpose, and with the same want of 

 success. We could neither of us discover a new species. Mr. Buxton most gene- 

 rously wished me to incorporate them with my own collection, but I had no room 

 for them. They are now at the British Museum, and in the care of Mr. Butler, who 

 has discovered a multitude of new species. 



I have just received a small collection of Lyccenidce from Singapore, kindly sent 

 me by Mr. Buxton, which contains some of Mr. Wallace's rarest species in fine con-
