Bourgeois of Ste-Marie-aux-Mines, Alsace. The collection is 
all the more valuable because the capture of many paired 
specimens is recorded. 
Fifty-eight specimens of various Orders from Umtali, 
Mashonaland (3,700 ft.), in part captured by Mr. Marshall and 
in part by Mr. H. Dobbie, at various dates. One butterfly, 
a Charaxes, exhibits injuries probably due to enemies. 
From the Umfuli River, Gadzima, Mashonaland (4,200 ft.), 
a tsetse-fly (Glossina morsitans), 2 beetles with Lycoid colour- 
ing, 2 Buprestid beetles with Cantharid pattern, all captured 
by Mr. Marshall, Nov., Dec. 1895. 
From Uitenhage, Cape Colony, Mr. Marshall presented 
7 Coleoptera captured by the Rev. J. O'Neil. 
A hundred and twenty-seven butterflies and one moth from 
N. Providence Island, Bahamas, were presented by C. V. A. 
Peel, Esq. The insects were captured in 1901, chiefly in the 
grounds of Government House, Nassau, by H. S. Gladstone, 
Esq. The butterflies include a fine series of Papilio bonhoutit. 
The locality renders the whole collection of much interest 
and value. 
The large collection of insects of various Orders made in 
Central Spain by the Professor in July 1902, has now been 
‘labelled and catalogued. It consists of 1,217 specimens, of 
which the great majority were captured by the donor at La 
Granja (San Ildefonso) in the Sierra Guadarrama (4,000 ft.), 
a few at El Escorial in the same range, at Madrid, Segovia 
and Burgos. A considerable number were taken at much 
higher elevations (up to 7,700 ft.) on Pefialara, the mountain 
behind La Granja. Near the summit the northern grass- 
hopper, Gomphocerus sibericus, was found swarming, and 
specimens illustrating observations on the habits of various 
insects were obtained. The collection includes many butter- 
flies apparently injured by the attacks of birds, the injury 
being in many instances noted before the insect was captured. 
In the Palace grounds, at La Granja, birds were extremely 
abundant, and here even freshly emerged butterflies were 
more frequently notched and torn than observed elsewhere
