24 
from Suez (July 1 1904) was also presented by the same 
donor, together with 64 insects of various Orders and an 
Isopod Crustacean from the Faroe Islands. This latter 
collection, which is of special interest, was made in August, 
1903 (Ent. Month. Mag., 1903, p. 249). 
Seventy-seven Neuroptera and Orthoptera from various 
localities and captured at various dates were presented by 
W. J. Lucas, Esq., B.A. The majority of the specimens 
belong to the Odonata (“ Dragon-flies ”), and include speci- 
mens from France, New Guinea, New Zealand, Persia, Canada 
(30. specimens collected by H. S. Fremlin, Esq.), Western 
United States (5, collected by W. Mansbridge, Esq.), Florida 
(7, and one Ascalaphus), Ceylon (10), Sumatra (6). Other 
interesting Neuroptera are a species of Wemoptera (probably 
from Syria), and a Myrmeleonid- from Cape Colony. The 
Orthoptera include a fine Forficulid (“Earwig”) from W. 
Africa. In addition to the above a fine Tipulid (Diptera), 
captured (1gco) at Meiringen, by H. Main, Esq., was presented 
by the same kind friend of the Department. 
One hundred and thirty-five insects of various Orders from 
the Transvaal (1902-1904) were presented by the captor, 
Trooper E, E. Hamm. The University is indebted to the 
kindness of Mr. A. H. Hamm, of the Hope Department, 
through whom this welcome and interesting donation has 
been made. Eighty-five specimens have been catalogued as 
permanent accessions, while many of the others will be pro- 
visionally included in the collections. The insects were chiefly 
taken at Potchefstroom, but specimens from Balmoral, Klerks- 
dorp, and Krugersdorp are also present. Although S. African 
insects are such a prominent feature of the University Col- 
lection, specimens from the Transvaal are very poorly repre- 
sented, and this little collection is correspondingly valuable. 
Nearly all the Orders are represented by a few specimens: 
the moths by 53, the Orthoptera by 19, the Coleoptera by 20. 
The 10 Neuroptera all belong to the A/yrmelconidae, and 
include examples of two very fine species, one of which is 
entirely new to the Collection and a most remarkable form.
