This fine series, accompanied by the most excellent data, 

 is a very welcome addition to the parts of the Collection 

 from the tropical New World. 



Fifty-two small Geometrid moths from the Khasia Hills, 

 Assam (Nissary, about 1904), presented by Herbert Druce, 

 Esq., F.L.S., were catalogued and incorporated after the pub- 

 lication of last year's Report, in which 1,427 moths from the 

 Khasia Hills, presented by the same generous donor, were 

 acknowledged. 



A small set of 14 butterflies^ greatly needed by the Depart- 

 ment, was presented by C. A. Schunck, Esq. Six specimens 

 were captured by E. Grauer (1905) in the interesting tract of 

 country between the Albert Nyanza and Victoria Nyanza. 

 The S. American examples included the rare Helicoimis 

 clytia, from British Guiana (Apr., 1907), a Thyridia (Rio, 

 Mar., 1907), and a Hesperid (Buenos Ayres, Mar., 1907), all 

 new to the Collections, and all captured by the donor. 



Six butterflies and one moth, from Olokemeji Hill, near 

 Lagos, about 800 feet (May, 1907, before the heavy rains), 

 were presented by the captor, J. A. Cremer, Esq. 



Nineteen Coleoptera and a Mantid, from various localities in 

 South Africa (Natal, Cape Colony, Rhodesia), were presented 

 by C. N. Barker, Esq., who has so often generously assisted 

 the Department. 



Thirty-three insects, chiefly moths, from the Potchefstroom 

 cantonments (1904), were presented by the captor, Mr. E. E. 

 Hamm. 



Forty-five Lepidoptera, chiefly moths, and one Flatid 

 (Homoptera), from Western Nigeria, were presented by 

 W. H. C. Trousdell, Esq., B.A., Queen's College. The locality 

 renders the specimens of much interest to the Department. 



One hundred and three insects, chiefly butterflies, from 

 Madagascar, were presented by the captor, Rev. J. U. Yonge, 

 M.A., Keble College. The great majority were taken, in 

 1906-7, at Ambatoharanana (4,900 feet). The data are ex- 

 cellent, and the series a valuable addition to the University 

 Collection which is in great need of specimens from 

 Madagascar.
