From various localities in S.E. Rhodesia, other than 
Chirinda, 37 insects of various Orders taken in 1905 were 
presented by Mr. Marshall, together with the following 
interesting additions to the bionomic series : 
A beautiful Dipterous mimic, Systropus (Bombyliidac), and 3 
Aculeate models, all four insects captured on the same bush 
on Oct 26, at Mpudzi River, Manica. 
A beautiful mimetic moth and its Hymenopterous(Braconid) 
model: Oct. 25, Mangesi River, Manica. 
A much mutilated example of the highly conspicuous 
nauseous Acracine, A. avemosa. 
A Lycaenid butterfly from Stellenbosch, Cape Colony 
(Nov., 1904), was also presented by G. A. K. Marshall, 
Esq. 
In addition to the above donations from the Salisbury 
district, there have been more recently catalogued and in- 
corporated 3 miscellaneous insects and 2 examples of the 
dorippus( =klugiz) form of Limnas chrysippus, excessively rare 
in South Africa, and now for the first time recorded from 
Khodesia. These 2 specimens, which are unfortunately in 
poor condition, were captured by — Fraser, Esq., and Hermon 
Brown, Esq. 
In addition to the donations from Mount Chirinda, Mr. 
Marshall has presented 15 Odonata (“ dragon-flies ”), and one 
Ascalaphus, all of which have been catalogued and incorpo- 
rated. 
Ever since the appearance, in 1902, of Mr. Guy Marshall’s 
memoir on the bionomics of S. African insects, naturalists 
have most kindly aided in the growth of the bionomic collec- 
tions of the Hope Department. The increase has been 
especially manifest in the series of insects and their enemies, 
so that the time has arrived when it is expedient to publish 
the collected results as soon as possible. In preparation for 
this work the whole of the material has been carefully ex- 
amined so that all the specimens are now catalogued and 
supplied with printed labels. The following important ac- 
cessions are now gratefully acknowledged :—
