Seven insects belonging to three Orders from Langé, one of 
the Western Lofoden Islands (1904), were presented by the 
captor, E. N. Bennett, Esq., M.A., Hertford College. 
Five Hepialid moths from Launceston, Tasmania (Feb., 
1903), were presented by — Littler, Esq. 
A Pyralid moth from Queensland was presented by J. R. 
Hardy, Esq., of the Manchester Museum. 
A specimen of Z7albaghia meneris from S. Africa was pre- 
sented by S. A. Neave, Esq., B.A., Magdalen College. 
One hundred and forty-three insects of various Orders (of 
which 113 have been catalogued) from British East Africa 
(1902-4) were presented by S. L. Hinde, Esq. and Mrs. Hinde. 
The localities and elevations (approximate) are of much 
interest: Fort Hall (4,0co ft.), Niro River (8,coo ft.), above 
Gouro River (7,0c0 ft.), Aberdare Mountains (8—10,000 ft.). All 
are in the Kenya Province. Many of the specimens are the 
material upon which interesting observations have been made 
by the donors. Several of the Lepidoptera have been bred 
from the egg, and the larvae painted by Mrs. Hinde, who has 
also recorded the dates of pupation, emergence of imago, &c. 
Among the accessions to the collection three specimens of 
Acraca excelsior and one of A. astrigera were especially 
welcome, together with a fine series of a Passalid beetle, prob- 
ably a new species, captured at 9,000 ft. on the Aberdare 
Range. But the localities and precise dates render the whole 
an accession of great value. 
Three hundred and thirty-four Lepidoptera, chiefly butter- 
flies, almost exclusively from the Eastern part of British East 
Africa (1903-4), were presented by the captor, the Rev. 
K. St. Aubyn Rogers, M.A., Wadham College. The localities 
are Mombasa, Taita Plain, Dabida Mountain, Sagalla Mountain, 
and the Voi River, about 100 miles N.W. of Mombasa; Rabai, 
14 miles N.W. of Mombasa; Ndzovani, 30 miles N. of Rabai ; 
and Nairobi in the Kikuyu country. The Department has 
rarely received a collection of which so large a proportion of 
the species were greatly needed, and 300 out of 334 have been 
catalogued as permanent accessions. The Nymphalinae,
