As regards the Old-World species in the above-named 
Groups, the whole of the duplicates of the Godman-Salvin 
Collection have been placed at our disposal; but as regards 
the New-World species, Mr. Godman and Mr, Salvin kindly 
promise that further specimens will be available in the future. 
The approximate value of the gift is very difficult to 
estimate. In the autumn of 1895 the Department purchased 
522 specimens of South American Lepidoptera for 4£21— 
a sum which was evidently considered to be exceptionally 
small and was only arrived at after much discussion. Many 
of the specimens in the Hope Department, selected by the 
late Professor, still retain the price upon their labels, proving 
that 25. 6d. or 3s. 6d. apiece was paid for them. The Hope 
Collection contains some few (perhaps a dozen) specimens 
from the Solomon Islands, purchased by Professor Westwood 
at a cost of from 3s. 6d. to 10s. 6d. apiece: whereas among 
the Godman-Salvin specimens there are 826 specimens from 
this locality, captured by C. M. Woodford, but of far greater 
scientific value, in that several islands of the Group are 
represented, including the extremely dangerous Maleita
