ADDITIONS TO THE COLLECTIONS IN 1g00. 
One hundred and two Llattdae and 196 Asilidae (Diptera) 
from the neighbourhood of Kuching (chiefly captured in 1900) 
were presented by R. Shelford, Esq., M.A. 
An interesting specimen of Pyramets atalanta (the “ Red 
Admiral”), with an unusually large white spot in the red 
band of the fore wing, was presented by the captor, Giles 
Dixey. From Totland Bay, Isle of Wight, July 30, 1900. 
Sixty-eight Dlattidae from the De Bormans Collection of 
Orthoptera, purchased in 1900, were catalogued and added to 
the large University collection of the group. 
ADDITIONS TO THE COLLECTIONS IN Igol. 
The large collection of Majorcan and Spanish insects 
captured and presented in 1901 by the Professor, Mr. W. 
Holland, and Mr. A. H. Hamm, although “set” and labelled, 
had not hitherto been catalogued and incorporated. It was 
considered expedient to keep the various groups together 
until they were worked out. Now, however, the Hymenoptera 
Aculeata have been named, and the new species described by 
Mr. Edward Saunders, F.R.S. (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1904, 
pp. 591-665), and the material has accordingly been in- 
corporated. It consists of 700 Majorcan and 585 Spanish 
Aculeates, including the types of the five new species (from 
Majorca) mentioned in last year’s Report. All these 1,285 
specimens are labelled with Mr. Saunders’ determinations. 
In addition to this important accession to the systematic 
collection of Hymenoptera Aculeata, 20 dark, yellow-banded 
Aculeates captured by the Professor, June 30, 1901, on the 
Pass of Soller, Majorca, have been added to the Bionomic 
series, together with one of the Hymenoptera Parasitica 
(Leucospis dorsigera, 8) and 7 mimetic Diptera, all taken at 
the same time and place. This little collection of widely 
separated superficially similar forms is a beautiful illustration 
of synaposematic and perhaps also pseudaposematic resem- 
blance.
