A splendid collection of over 2,000 Coleoptera from various 

 localities in Arizona was presented by the captor, Dr. R. E. 

 Kunze, of Phoenix. The specimens were collected in the 

 following localities :— Phoenix (1897-1907) — 1,220 specimens ;

A valuable collection of 434 butterflies from Queensland, 

 chiefly from the N. coast (1904), was presented by the captor, 

 Dr. R. C. L. Perkins, D.Sc, M.A., Jesus College. All the 

 specimens possess excellent data, both of time and place, and 

 many of them were bred. In addition to these butterflies 

 there is also included a fine example of the interesting 

 Euschemon rafflesiae, a very primitive Hesperid-like form, 

 generally considered to be a moth. The whole series is a 

 most interesting addition to the University collection, and 

 brings out in a very striking way the essentially Papuan 

 affinity of the northern tropical area of Australia. In addition 

 to these, 2 beetles from Honolulu (1902) were also presented 

 by Dr. Perkins. 



A collection of 49 butterflies from the North Queensland 

 Coast (1910) was presented by the captor, J. C. Kershaw, Esq.

 were collected at Mossman (about 50 ft.), north of Cairns, 

 and about twelve miles inland from Port Douglas.
