bionomic series, and Callitaera philis, new to the Hope Col- 
lection ; 3 butterflies from Peru, all much wanted ; a specimen 
of Limnas chrysippus from St. Helena, and one from Central 
India; 2 specimens of the Satyrine butterfly, We/axargia hali- 
mede, from Tibet ; and 33 Lepidoptera from various European 
localities, including 1 specimen of Syuchloe daplidice and 2 of 
the superficially similar A zthocaris belia, captured together by 
the donor on the same day at Cannes (Mar. 17, 1899). Such 
resemblances, suggesting the mimetic associations so abundant 
in the tropics, are of much interest. It is, however, probable 
that the resemblance is at least in part syncryptic. 
Eighty-seven butterflies from various localities in Switzer- 
land, the Austrian Tyrol, and Carinthia were presented by 
R. W. Lloyd, Esq., F.E.S. The exact localities and dates 
add much value to the specimens. The fine series of Erebias 
are especially welcome. Mr. Lloyd also presented 4 butter- 
flies from Norway (1898) and 2 rare Elateridae (Coleoptera) 
from the New Forest. 
The dissection of a gynandromorphous specimen of the 
bee Osmia fulviventris, captured by Monsieur J. Vachel of 
Argentat, Corréze, France, was presented by the Rev. F. D. 
Morice, M.A., Queen’s College. The specimen, which is de- 
scribed in the Proceedings of the Entomological Society of 
London for 1903 (p. vi), is a valuable addition to the terato- 
logical part of the collection. 
A hundred and forty-six butterflies from numerous localities 
in South Africa (Zululand, Natal, and Cape Colony) were 
presented by the captor, the Rev. W. H. Heale, M.A., Balliol 
College. A few of the species were previously unrepre- 
sented in the collection, while the localities and precise dates 
rendered the whole of much value. 
A hundred insects of various groups were presented by 
Dr. T. A. Chapman, F.E.S. The series included the following 
local forms of Lepidoptera described by the donor, from 
Bejar, &c., W. Central Spain (1902):— 4 Erebia stygne, var. 
bejarensis; 8 Lycaena argus, var. bejarensis; 6 Heterogyna 
paradoxa, var. bejarensis; 6 H. paradoxa, var. candelariae
