on Mount Matang,a few at Trusan, at Paku, at Santubong, 
and at Singapore. The kind help afforded by many eminent 
specialists in working out the collection has been gratefully 
acknowledged in the earlier part of this Report and in that 
of the year 1902 ; as also in Mr. Shelford’s paper in the Proc. 
Zool. Soe:, 1902 (p. 231). 
A hundred and eleven insects of many Orders, from Bilder- 
lingshof on the Gulf of Riga (1902), were presented by the 
Captor, WH. H. Druce, Esq-, F.Z-S., F.E.S.. The gift is especi- 
ally welcome, inasmuch as Russian localities have been hitherto 
almost unrepresented in the Department. 
Valuable collections of insects of several Orders and a 
few other Arthropoda from European districts as yet un- 
represented in the Department have been presented by the 
captor, E. Lorenz Meyer, Esq., of Hamburg ; from the Island 
of Sylt, Schleswig (Aug. 8, 1902), 45 specimens; from 
Fiissen in Upper Bavaria (July 24-29, 1902), 66 speci- 
mens ; from Worishofen, near Munich (July 1-15 and 16-22, 
1902), 276 specimens. Thus nearly 400 specimens, with 
excellent data, have been added to our European collec- 
tion. The fine series of individuals of several species of 
Fritillaries (Avgynnidae) are especially welcome, but the whole 
collection supplies an important place which has been hitherto 
almost empty. It is hoped that Mr. Edward Saunders, F.R.S., 
who has been so kind a friend to the Department, will name 
the Aculeata and Hemiptera of this and Mr. H. H. Druce’s 
collection, together with a few others from Northern Europe 
captured by the Professor in Igol. 
Seventy-seven insects of various Orders, chiefly Coleoptera, 
collected in the neighbourhood of Blockhouse No. 74, on the 
Valsch River, near Bothaville, Orange River Colony (1902), 
were presented by the captor, E. N. Bennett, Esq., M.A., 
Hertford College. 
Nine specimens of various Arthropoda from Estaficia do 
Rey, Mercedes, Uruguay, were presented by Mrs. E. S. Craig. 
In addition to three Arachnida, the specimens include an 
extremely fine Fossorial Aculeate, Coleoptera, and Mantidae.
