 still being investigated by Mr. Neave, and these will be 

 added to the Collection at a later date. 



In addition to these catalogued specimens immense numbers 

 of others in a rather less perfect condition have been added to 

 the Collection, together with 17 catalogued specimens for the 

 bionomic series. 



A very large and valuable collection of insects of many 

 Orders, taken in 1905 at Kilindini (Mombasa), British East 

 Africa, and in 1906, at Jinja (3,775 ft.) and other localities 

 in Usoga, on the N. shore of the Victoria Nyanza (Luba's,

 been catalogued and incorporated. The Orders principally

 and Orthoptera (especially the Acridiidae). Several nests, 

 together with their Hymenopterous builders, were of especial 

 interest. The Lepidoptera, although not numerous, included 

 many species greatly wanted in the Collection, such as Salamis 

 cacta and a Etixanthe hitherto unrepresented in the Depart- 

 ment. The data are excellent, as in all specimens collected 

 by the donor. A large amount of labour has been ex- 

 pended upon this very fine accession. In addition to the 

 above, a very interesting series of 23 butterflies, taken in the 

 course of half an hour (Feb. 21, 1906) on a patch of Zinnia 

 at Jinja, was presented to the bionomic collections by the 

 same generous donor. With the exception of a single
