ADDITIONS TO THE BRITISH COLLECTIONS IN 1905. 
A splendid series of 1,830 named British flies were presented 
by the captor, Colonel J. W. Yerbury. The following list is 
taken from a good representative set of locality-labels which 
have been selected to fix in the catalogue book. Without 
pretending to be complete in localities or dates, the list gives 
some idea of the great interest of this fine addition to the 
British collections. Specimens were captured by the kind 
donor at various localities in the following Scotch counties :— 
Sutherlandshire (1884-1904), Haddingtonshire (1899), Inver- 
ness (1898-1905), Caithness (1899), Nairnshire (1904-5), 
Perthshire (1896-1904), Banffshire (1900), Elginshire (1899) ; 
in County Kerry (1902); in various localities in N. Wales 
(1902) and S. Wales (1899-1903); in the following English 
counties :—Hampshire (1897-1905), Kent (1896-1903), Surrey 
(1897-1903), Somerset (1903), Gloucestershire (1903), Here- 
fordshire (1897-1902), Suffolk (1900), Yorkshire (1905). The 
great majority of the species have been named by Col. 
Yerbury himself; many by Mr. G. H. Verrall and by Mr. 
Ja E> Collin: 
Colonel Yerbury also presented a specimen of 2 Fossorial 
wasps with their prey: Salius fuscus with a spider, from 
Nethy Bridge, Spey Valley, Inverness (June, 1905), and 
Mellinus arvensis with the fly, Luphoria cormicina, from 
Golspie, Sutherland (Aug. 1900). 
With this fine accession, which repeats Colonel Yerbury’s 
generous assistance in former years, the series of British 
Diptera is rapidly developing into a valuable collection of 
reference. The species are, in nearly all cases, represented 
by a fine series of individuals, often from many localities.
