ADDITIONS TO THE COLLECTIONS IN 1g0I. 
Eighty-six Lepidoptera from various localities in Greece 
and eighty-two from Switzerland (Uri and Ticino) were pre- 
sented by the captor, W. M. Geldart, Esq., M.A., Trinity 
College. All the specimens were captured in 1901. The 
dates and localities are full and precise, rendering the accession 
of great value. The specimens from Greece are especially 
welcome, the collection being very deficient in Lepidoptera 
from South-Eastern Europe. 
Six Coleoptera and one Mantis (Hymenopus bicornis) from 
Kuching, Sarawak (1goo-1), were presented by R. Shelford, 
Esq., M.A., Christ’s College, Cambridge. 
Two hundred and ninety-four Geometrid moths and one 
Saturniid from tropical America (various localities and dates) 
were presented by W. Schaus, Esq., F.Z.S. All the specimens 
are named by the donor, and there are very nearly as many 
species as individuals, so that the collection will be of the 
highest value in the naming and arrangement of this important 
section of the American moths. 
An interesting set of seven Slattidae and three Lycosid 
spiders, accidentally introduced into the Avonmouth Dock at 
Bristol (April, 1901), were presented by G. C. Griffiths, Esq., 
F.Z.S. The specimens, which came over from Jamaica with 
bananas in the “ Port Morant,” were taken alive in the Dock. 
They form a most interesting addition to the part of the 
collection which illustrates the means of distribution of 
Arthropod animals. 
A set of 110 Lepidoptera, especially wanted as an addition 
to the section of the bionomic series dealing with mimicry 
and common warning colours, was purchased from Messrs. 
Watkins and Doncaster. The groups from South America, 
the classical ground for the study of these interesting problems, 
are particularly fine. The series also includes some excellent 
examples from tropical West Africa and a pair of the fine 
Danaine butterfly from Madagascar (A mauris nossima).
