Another set of 221 specimens, of which 157 have been 
catalogued, was collected in Japan. Specimens from this 
part of the world are very imperfectly represented in the 
University Collection, and the accession is correspondingly 
valuable. 
Seventy specimens, of which 44 have been catalogued, from 
Canada. 
The whole of the specimens of Dr. Longstaff’s donation, 
amounting to nearly two thousand, bear full and accurate 
data, rendering the examples even of common species par- 
ticularly valuable. Large numbers of older specimens with 
insufficient data have now been replaced by Dr. Longstaff’s 
captures. 
In addition to the above a fine example of 7roagonoptera 
brookeana, collected Jan. 1, 1904, by W. G. Freedley, Esq., at 
Buso, near Kuching, Borneo, was presented by Dr. G. B. 
Longstaff. 
Thirty-five Diptera, of which 32 have been catalogued, were 
presented by Col. J. W. Yerbury. The captures were made 
in many widely scattered localities, and range over several 
years. 
A co-type of the fly Saundersia riufopilosa, v. d. Wulp, from 
Irazu, Mexico (6-7,000 ft.) was presented by the British 
Museum of Natural History. 
The following valuable addition to the bionomic collection 
was made by Rk. Shelford, Esq., M.A., the generous donor to 
whom the University owes nearly the whole of the large 
bionomic series from Borneo :— 
Five members of the dominant group of small black-and- 
white insects mimicking the little stingless bees of the genus 
Melipona. In addition to one of the models, this group 
comprises two other Hymenoptera—a Braconid and a Chal- 
cidid, a Reduviid (Hemiptera) and an Asilid fly. 
A Lycid beetle with two other beetles mimicking it. 
An example of a slender Longicorn beetle of the genus 
Oberea (near O. strigosa) mimicking a Braconid (Hymen- 
optera).
