[Read Juno Gth, 1917.] 



The Hope Department at Oxford has recently received a 

 Collection of Lepidoptera, chiefly Rhopalocera, taken in 

 1916 by Mr. W. A. Laniborn in the northern central part 

 of what was German East Africa, and it may be not with- 

 out interest to give particulars of one of the first consign- 

 ments forwarded from one of our newly acquired territories. 

 The dates and localities with notes as to the type of 

 country are as follows. The elevations are approximate.
