ii. Seven tli Volume of Hope Reports. 



The seventh volume, issued at midsummer, contains reprints 

 of 37 octavo memoirs which have appeared in the two years 

 between June 1908 and June 1910. But for the pressure of 

 work it would have been issued at an earlier date and in a less 

 inconveniently bulky form. Many papers are already in hand 

 for the eighth volume. 



Additions to the Collections in 1906. 



Nine butterflies from the Rio Huancamayo, Carabaya, 

 East Peru (2,000 ft.), collected by G. R. Ockenden (1904), 

 were presented by Herbert Druce, Esq., F.L.S., &c. 



Five hundred and fifty-four Northern Rhodcsian moths 

 from the fine series collected in 1904-5, and presented by 

 S. A. Neave, Esq., M.A., B.Sc, Magdalen College, have been 

 catalogued and, with many hundreds of additional specimens, 

 incorporated in the collection. Mr. N cave's moths have now 

 been worked out by Sir George Hampson (Froc. Zool. Soc. 

 1910, pp. 388-510), and it was thought desirable not to incor- 

 porate the specimens until the specific determinations and 

 reference to the memoir could be placed upon them. This 

 has now been done, and the series is a most valuable addition 

 to the University Collection. Many of the specimens are 

 co-types of new species described by Sir George Hampson in 

 the above-mentioned work. A full account of the localities 

 was published in the Report of 190S. 



Additions to the Collections in 1908. 



A valuable scries of Asilidae (Diptera) from the Bigot 

 Collection (c. 1845-93), presented by G. II. Verrall, Esq., in 

 1908, has now been added to the general collection kindly 

 arranged by Colonel J. W. Verba ry. This generous gift also 

 included many Asilidae from other parts of the donor's col- 

 lection. All the specimens have been supplied with printed 

 labels clearly indicating their source. 



Six hundred and eighty-eight moths — Geometers, Noctuas, 

 Pyralcs, and Micro- Lepidoptcra— and one Phryganid, from the
