A fine set of 848 insects of many Orders from Cyprus 
(1901-2), of which 547 have been catalogued and permanently 
added to the collection, was presented by Miss Dorothea 
M. A. Bate. The thanks of the University are also due to 
Colonel C. T. Bingham, for kindly suggesting the needs of the 
Hope Department to the generous donor. The butterflies 
include four specimens of Lzmmnas chrysippus, a very interesting 
accession, from a locality hitherto unrepresented in the great 
series of this species in the Hope Department. An interesting 
divergence is exhibited in this little series, three specimens 
being dark Ethiopian forms, and the fourth showing a tendency 
towards the paler Oriental type. Among the moths are many 
taken at “Sugar” in the pine forest, at Asprokremnos, 
Troados, at a height of 4,675 feet. The Hymenoptera 
Aculeata have been kindly determined by Mr. Edward 
Saunders, F.R.S. The specimens, for the most part, possess 
excellent data, and they form a most interesting and valuable 
addition to the important part of the University Collection 
which illustrates the insect fauna of the Mediterranean. 
A considerable part of the magnificent collection of 
butterflies from the shores of Lake Victoria Nyanza, made 
and presented in 1903 by C. A. Wiggins, Esq., has been 
catalogued and incorporated, but much still remains to be 
done, and must be deferred until the issue of the Report for 
the present year. The collection has been dealt with in 
sections according to the localities. 
1. The Tiriki Hills (5,100 ft.), 20 miles N. of Kisumu on 
the N.E. shore of the Lake. Forest and Woodland. March, 
1903. Seven hundred and fifty-one butterflies came from this 
locality, of which 404 have been catalogued and incorporated, 
and a large proportion of the remainder provisionally added 
to the collection. The Danaznae include a fine series of 
Melinda formosa and an example of Amauris niavius, beauti- 
fully intermediate between the western and eastern forms, 
thus supporting the view of Professor Aurivillius that the 
two are a single species. The Acraeznae are numerous and 
include many extremely fine species new to the collection.
