been rendered for so many years by the Rev. K. St. Aubyn 

 Rogers, M.A., Wadham, F.E.S., has been continued in 1910. 

 The very interesting British East African butterflies, chiefly 

 from the neighbourhood of Rabai, near Mombasa, sent by 

 him in 1910 have, with few exceptions, received their 

 printed labels. The amount of work that was necessary in 

 preparation for the return of Mr. C. A. Wiggins and Mr. 

 W. A. Lamborn prevented the final cataloguing and incor- 

 poration of these and many of the earlier series presented by 

 the same kind donor ; but all will be completed in the near 

 future and a full account given in next year's Report. 



Dr. R. E. Kunze's valuable donation of insects of many 

 groups from Arizona and of butterflies from California and the 

 North Eastern States will also be dealt with at the earliest 

 possible opportunity. All the specimens have been prepared, 

 but the printed labels have not yet been supplied. Arizona, 

 on the northern borders of the Neotropical Region, is an area 

 of exceptional interest and specimens from it are correspond- 

 ingly valuable to the student. 



Additions to the British Collections in 19 10. 



The fine collection of British Rhynchota Hemiptera and 

 Homoptera belonging to the late Edward Saunders, F.R.S., 

 was presented by Dr. G. B. Longstaff and the Professor. 

 This, one of the most important additions ever made to the 

 British Collections in the Department, consisted of 17 boxes 

 containing many thousands of specimens determined by this 

 eminent authority in the group. The work upon this collection 

 and its arrangement in cabinet-drawers fell into the present 

 year and will be described in the next Report. It is a pleasure 

 to Oxford zoologists and to the family of the late distinguished 

 naturalist to know that the collection to which he devoted 

 much time and thought is nov/ beside the collections of his 

 father and cousin in the Museum he was ever ready to help. 



Another addition to the British Collections — also among 

 the most important ever received — is due to the generosity of 

 Mr. VV. Holland, of the Hope Department, who, in 1907,
