Oxford ; 36 from St. Helens, Isle of Wight (including the rare 
Aculeate, Nomada armata) ; and 33 from Burley, New Forest

Geldart, Esq., M.A., Trinity College. 
A fine series of additions to the British Collections from

Yerbury. This important accession includes 317 Coleoptera, 
253 Rhynchota, 2 Hymenoptera, and 2 Orthoptera.

that of C. A. Wiggins, Esq., of Nairobi, British East Africa, 
which is kept apart in order that the donor may see it as 
a whole; and that of A. H. Harrison, Esq., which only arrived 
towards the end of the year. 
A series of 19 butterflies was presented by J. A. Gibbs, Esq., 
M.A., Keble College. Although without recorded data, there 
is no doubt that the species represented in the collection came 
from Ecuador, Bolivia, or Peru. The condition of the speci-

Four specimens of the Dipterous insect Wippobosca maculata, 
from Trinkomali, Ceylon (1890-91), were presented by Col. 
J. W. Yerbury, the captor of all but one. Col. Yerbury also 
presented five specimens of Hippobosca camelina. The speci- 
mens were taken from a camel at Skaik Othman, Aden, on 
March 4, 1895, by Col. Yerbury. 
Sixteen butterflies and three Neuroptera from the neigh- 
bourhood of Urmi, N.W. Persia (1903), were presented by
