thanks to Professor Chr. Aurivillius, of Stockholm, and Dr. 
Walther Horn, of Berlin, for their courteous communications 
on the subject. 
ADDITIONS TO THE COLLECTIONS IN 1895. 
A set of 30 Acridiidae and 1 Decticus sp. (Locustidae) 
captured by the Professor, at the end of August and 
beginning of September, 1895, near the Hotel Weishorn, 
above Vissoye in the Val d’Anniviers, Switzerland, were 
catalogued and added to the collection of Orthoptera. Five 
Hemiptera and an ant collected at the same time were also 
incorporated. The Acridiidae, kindly named by Dr. David 
Sharp, F.R.S., formed the subject of a paper Ox the Courtship 
of certain European Acridiidae, by the Professor (Trans. Ent. 
Soc. Lond., 1896, p. 233). 
ADDITIONS TO THE COLLECTIONS IN 1900. 
Thirty-five M/antidae (33 catalogued); 2 Phasmidae (1 
catalogued); 118 Acridiidae (92 catalogued) ; 35 Locustidae 
(34 catalogued); 49 Gryllidae (48 catalogued); from the 
De Bormans collection of Orthoptera, purchased in 1900, 
were labelled, catalogued and added to the University 
Collection. 
Seventeen J/antidae collected at various dates in the 
neighbourhood of Kuching, Sarawak, N.W. Borneo, were 
presented by R. Shelford, Esq., M.A., Emmanuel College, 
Cambridse, PLS: FES. 
A large amount of time was occupied in sorting, cataloguing 
and incorporating the splendid collection of Bornean insects 
of many Orders presented by R. Shelford, Esq., in the years 
1899-1901, when he was Curator of the Sarawak Museum, 
Kuching, N. W. Borneo. The pinning, setting, and labelling 
had been completed many years ago, but the numbers are 
so great that the final stages have proved to be a serious 
undertaking. Very little now remains to be done. The 
extent of this magnificent donation may be inferred from the
