A fine specimen of Acridiuui acgyptmm was captured alive 

 in 1898 at St. Helen's, and presented by Mr. A. W. Daish. 

 This specimen is of interest as bearing upon the introduction 

 of insects into new countries. 



Mr. W. Holland, of the Hope Department, presented 

 175 insects of various Orders from St. Helen's and the 

 neighbourhood of Oxford (1898). They include a fine set of 

 Hymenoptera, with the Diptera which mimic them, for the 

 Biological Series. 



A fine series of 12 Zygacna niinos, captured in Wales (1896) 

 by E. W. H. Blagg, was presented by Dr. F. A. Dixcy, M.A., 

 Wadham College, who also presented 66 insects of many 

 Orders, from the neighbourhood of Morthoe, N. Devon, 10 

 from Lundy Island, 12 from near .London (Coldfall Wood, 

 East Finchley), and 8 from near Oxford (all 1898 except the 

 latter, which are from 1893 to 1897). The specimens are 

 rendered specially valuable by full and precise data. Two 

 specimens of Hemiptera from Morthoe (1898) were presented 

 by Giles Dixey. Dr. Dixey also presented 6 British butter- 

 flies from various localities (1876-97), showing the apparent 

 attacks of birds.

 insects of various Orders from the neighbourhood of Oxford, 

 S. Devon, and Wellington College, all captured in 1898, and 

 one captured at Basingstoke about \ 888. Many Hymenoptera 

 and mimetic Diptera captured on the same day will be 

 valuable for the Biological Series, together with specimens set 

 in the attitude of rest, and others showing the apparent attacks 

 of enemies. 



Four specimens of Caradrina anibigua from S. Devon (1897) 

 were presented by the Rev. E. C. Dobree Fox, together with
