all the species are most welcome; for the Hope Collections 
have received hardly any specimens from Celebes since the 
small but interesting collection made by Professor S. J. Hick- 
son, F.R.S., in 1886. 
Two butterflies from Deli, Sumatra, collected (July) by 
H. Pickenpack, Esq., and a Cassidid beetle from Kwala Lumpur 
(of uncertain data) were also presented by E. L. Meyer, Esq. 
Three hundred and eighty-nine Lepidoptera, almost ex- 
clusively butterflies, of which 218 have been catalogued and 
permanently added to the collection, were presented by the 
Rev. A. P. Hunt, of New York. Many more have also been 
added, at least provisionally. The data are full and precise. 
The chief localities are in the northern part of the Adirondack 
Range, but specimens were also taken in the White Mountains, 
N.H., and in several localities in the States of New York and 
New Jersey, and near Boston. The captures were made 
between Ig01 and 1903, by far the largest number in the 
year last-named. The great majority were taken by the 
donor himself, but for many specimens, from the neighbour- 
hood of Albany, N.Y., the thanks of the University are also 
due to J. Cook, Esq. 
The collection includes a very fine series of Grapta faunus, 
one of the “Comma” butterflies of the United States, and 
the wide range of beautiful variations of the under-side is now 
splendidly shown in the cabinets of the Department. The fine 
series of forms of Colzas philodice is a most welcome addition to 
the collection of Pzerinae. There are also examples of Axosia 
archippus, the great Danaine intruder from the tropical south, 
together with its Nymphaline mimic, Limenztis (Basilarchia) 
misi~pus, captured together at the same place and time. 
These will find a place in the bionomic section of the Depart- 
ment. The whole accession is of the greatest value and will 
do much to render the collection more serviceable to North 
American students. 
Two hundred and fifty-two insects, almost entirely Lepi- 
doptera, from Concepcion, Tucuman Province, N.W. Argentina 
(1904), were presented by Stewart Shipton, Esq., B.A., of
