A valuable series of insects, chiefly butterflies from the 
reaches of the White Nile in the neighbourhood of the northern 
boundary of Uganda (1902), was presented by the captor, 
W. L. S. Loat, Esq., together with a collection of insects of 
various orders from the Blue Nile. The localities render these 
collections of high interest. The whole of the specimens are 
now “set” and provided with printed labels containing full data.

will appear in the course of the summer.
