A very interesting series of 7 examples of Charaxes 

 neanthcs and i C. zoolvia, bred in 1908 from eggs laid by 

 a female neanthcs, was purchased from Mr. G. F. Leigh. Thus 

 the long suspected specific identity of these two forms is 

 confirmed. The specimens, which are accompanied by full 

 data, were exhibited to the Entomological Society {Pro- 

 ceedings, Oct. 31, 1908). 



A valuable set of 136 Coleoptera from various localities in 

 N. America were presented by Guy A. K. Marshall, Esq.

 presented by W. Schaus, Esq., F.E.S. 



Three hundred and two Lepidoptera, chiefly butterflies, 

 from various localities, principally Venezuela, were presented 

 by H. Balfour, Esq., M.A., Trinity College. The specimens 

 were contained in cabinets purchased for the Pitt-Rivers 

 Museum. Some of the localities being obviously erroneous, 

 it was considered safer not to catalogue any of the specimens 

 as permanent accessions, but all have been provisionally 

 added to the Collection. 



A series of 117 bees from Argentina (1906-7) was pur- 

 chased from the captor, A. C. J. Haarup. The species were
