8 species of Delias — bakeri, castanens, firatti, kiimmeri van 

 ligata, dixeyi, ornytion, emilia, and meeki, and 2 Lenciacria, 

 acuta, allied to Delias. Nearly the whole of the specimens 

 were collected (1908-10) by C. and F. Pratt in the Arfak 

 Mountains in N.W. New Guinea. This island, which is the 

 metropolis of the interesting genus Delias, is very poorly 

 represented in the Hope Department, and the gift of such 

 a fine series of species is a most welcome addition to 

 the collection of Pierinae. The whole of the species except 

 D. ornytion are new to the University Collection. 



The following specimens were presented by the late 

 Herbert Druce, Esq., F.L.S., the kind friend whose recent 

 death has been so great a loss to entomological science. The 

 condition of the specimens as a whole is not good, but the 

 localities and the species represented render the gift of 

 special value. 



Alpazacu (3,600 ft.), Rio Pastaza, E. Ecuador : collected 

 by M. G. Palmer. — 102 butterflies. 



Many localities in E. Ecuador (M. G. Palmer) and one in 

 S. Peru. — 2 Hesperidae, 40 moths, and 1 Neuropteron. 



Many localities in the Philippine Islands (J. J. Mounsey). — 

 67 butterflies and 18 moths. 



Dorei Bay, N. New Guinea (1910), collected by C. and F. 

 Pratt, and Upper Setekwa River, Snow Mountains, Dutch 

 New Guinea, 1910, collected by A. S. Meek. — 7 butterflies 

 and 1 moth. 



Bidi, Sarawak, Borneo (1907-8), collected by C. J. Brooks. — 

 15 moths. 



Forty-two butterflies from Concepcion, Province Tucuman, 

 N.W. Argentine (191 2), were presented by the captor, C. M. 

 Dammers, Esq. The locality renders the specimens of special 

 interest, for we here meet with tropical forms near the southern 

 boundary of their range. Among the Pierines are a o* and ? 

 Tatockila, which Dr. Dixey refers to a species hitherto un- 

 described. 



Three most interesting series of Hawaiian Wasps collected 

 on three dates in 1912, on the island of Oahu, were presented
