II. PlIASMIDAE. 



I. Phasmidae. In Biologia Centrali - Americana, Ortho- 

 ptera, vol. ii. 



1 1 . Sixth volume of Hope Reports. 

 The sixth volume was issued on June 26, and contains 

 separata of octavo publications which appeared in the course 

 of the two years before that date. The volume includes 

 25 memoirs, in addition to a large number of short papers 

 from the Proceedings of the Entomological Society, and two 

 years' reports extracted from the Oxford University 

 Gazette. The book is rather too bulky, an inconvenience 

 which will be avoided in future hy issuing the volumes 

 at shorter intervals. 



Additions to the Collections in 1900. 

 Three very interesting series of the weevil, Cleonus sulci- 

 rostris, (i) from the reddish sand of Boar's Hill, (2) from dark 

 earth on Shotover Hill, and (3) from the Deal sand-hills, were 

 presented by the captor, Mr. W. Holland. The specimens, 

 which had been overlooked in cataloguing in previous years, 

 are coloured in correspondence with the surface of their 

 respective localities (Trans, Ent. Soc, Lond., 1899. p. 430). 



Additions to the Collections in 1901. 



The very large collection of insects made in 1901 by the 

 Professor, Mr. Holland, and Mr. Hamm, in Majorca, near 

 Barcelona, and at the eastern end of the Pyrenees, has now 

 been catalogued and incorporated — a considerable labour, 

 as may be inferred from the following numbers. The 

 Hymenoptera Aculeata, the Blattidae and Forficididac^ cata- 

 logued in previous years, are omitted from the list. Each 

 specimen possesses its printed label on which the name of the 

 captor and donor is recorded, so that it has not been thought 

 necessary to discriminate between the captures in the cata- 

 logue. The numbers are even larger than those quoted, 

 inasmuch as the insects mounted on a single card are always 

 counted as one.
