Two pairs of Himpidae (predaceous Diptera), captured zz 
coitu, the female in each case devouring a Dipterous insect of 
another species ; from Tarrington, Herefordshire (June 5, 1902). 
®% A pair of Aszlzdae (predaceous Diptera), captured 7 coztu, 
the female devouring a Tipulid, from Barmouth (July 6, 1902). 
A fine set of 54 insects, consisting of predaceous species,

A very fine set of 243 British beetles and 72 insects of 
various Orders, from a great variety of localities, were presented 
by Horace St. J. K. Donisthorpe, Esq. They include 3 insects 
taken in London. The full and exact data, together with the 
number of the localities, have been a severe strain upon the 
time of the Department ; but the results are most satisfactory.
