A fine collection of 772 insects of many Orders from the 

 Towranna Plains, W. Australia (1898), was purchased from 

 E. Clement, Esq., Ph.D. Dr. Clement kindly permitted a 

 selection of the specimens required by the Department for 

 a very moderate remuneration. The collection is especially

 for the Mimicry Series.

 presented to the General Collection by Mr. W. Holland and

 between Nairobi and Mount Kenia, British East Africa (1899), 

 was presented by H. J. Mackinder, Esq., M.A., Christ Church, 

 and C. B. Hausburg, Esq. The specimens were excellently 

 collected and with full data. They include some species 

 w^hich are new to science, and all are of great value to the 

 Hope Collection, on account of their rarity or the fact that 

 they are unrepresented from this interesting locality.

 generous gift of a fine collection of butterflies, containing 805

 bred from the larvae, and almost all are in the most beautiful 

 condition, with data far superior to all but a few of our Indian 

 insects.
