Society of London, and a notice of them was communicated 

 to the " Proceedings " (see p. 977). Several interesting species 

 new to the collection have been incorporated by Dr. Dixey, 

 including Hespcrocharis gayi, Blanch., Colias romanovi, Grm. 

 Grsh., and C. standiugeri, Alpher., Pontia Icucodice, Eversm., 

 Delias /ara, Boisd., D. ladas, Gr.-Smith, D. bakeri, Kenr., and

7. Work upon the Collection of Acraeinae. 

 Mr. H. Eltringham, M.A., New College, continued his 

 work upon the African Acraeas. His study of the group has 

 been so complete and so penetrating that when he visited 

 Berlin, in the summer of 191 1, every conclusion he had 

 formed beforehand concerning the German types was found 

 to be correct. The preparation of his monograph, which is 

 now going through the press, involved the making, chiefly in 

 191 1, of nearly 500 drawings for the plates. Mr. Eltringham 

 paid many visits to the Natural History Museum and revisited 

 the Tring Museum in order to make a second examination 

 of the Acraeas. In addition to the work upon this fine 

 monograph, to be issued in the present summer by the 

 Entomological Society of London, Mr. Eltringham began 

 to draw the plates for the Acraeinae, in Wytsman's " Genera 

 Insectorum " (Brussels), a work in which he is co-operating 

 with Dr. Karl Jordan of Tring. Two papers on Acraeas 

 published by Mr. Eltringham in the course of 191 1 are 

 referred to on pp. 977, 978. 



8. Rearrangement of the British Beetles. 

 During the past year Commander J. J. Walker has con- 

 tinued to give kind help in the rearrangement of the British 

 (Hope-West wood) collection of Coleoptera. The Staphy- 

 linidac, which were in progress at the time of last year's 

 Report, are now completed, all the specimens which were in 

 a condition to be remounted having been cleaned and 

 repinned or carded with, on the whole, satisfactory results. 

 The Scydmaenidae and Pselaphidae, of which families there 

 are a large number of specimens and some rare and in- 

 teresting forms, were then proceeded with, and these being
