in turn been enabled to help them by taking types to London 
for study and comparison. 
The Rev. G. Dexter Allen, M.A., Non-Collegiate, kindly 
helped in the arrangement of the Coleoptera by undertaking 
the identification and classification of the Czcindelidae. He 
had made considerable progress in this valuable piece of work 
when he was compelled to sail for Borneo. 
In addition to the kind help with the Majorcan Chrysididae 
the Rev. F. D. Morice has also named the British species of 
this family—previously in a state of confusion, without trust- 
worthy determinations, and useless for the purposes of study 
or reference. 
Col. C. T. Bingham very kindly named a set of Australian 
Aculeates and described several new species in a paper soon 
to be published. Col. Bingham also assisted the Department 
on many other occasions by determining species of the Oriental 
Hymenoptera upon which he is so distinguished an authority. 
Mr. Hamilton H. Druce, F.Z.S., has added to the kind 
help he has rendered for many years by giving advice and 
assistance in making out the most obscure and difficult of the 
African Lycaenidae and Hesperidae presented by Mr. C. A. 
Wiggins. He has also described a beautiful new Hesperid from 
Kitui, British East Africa, presented by Mr. and Mrs. S. L. 
Hinde. This species has been named after the captors, 
Leucochitonea hindet. 
Mr. W. J. Lucas has kindly named the British dragon-flies 
which have been received since his arrangement of the col- 
lection of these Odonata, and has also determined some other 
British Neuroptera. 
The Rev. H. S. Gorham has rendered the most valuable 
help with several groups of the Coleoptera—the Cleridae, 
Endomychidae, Erotylidae and Coccinellidae. Mr. Gorham’s 
determinations were made in part during a visit to Oxford in 
the summer, and in part at home, where he had the opportunity 
of comparing the Hope specimens with his private collection. 
The contemplation of the vast mass of unarranged, unnamed 
material in the Hope Department, and a consideration of the
