sented by the captor, G. F. Leigh, Esq., F.E.S. This generous 
gift is the accumulated result of numerous consignments sent 
by Mr. Leigh during the last few years. It was, however, 
more convenient to catalogue them as the gift of a single 
year. The specimens include a number of Hymenopterous 
and Dipterous parasites bred by Mr. Leigh from the eggs, 
larvae or pupae of various interesting Lepidoptera. The 
Diptera include a splendid Asilid fly of the genus Hyperechia 
(probably #7. /ateralis), new to the collection. The data are 
full and precise, and the whole series constitutes a most 
valuable accession to the Department. In addition to the 
above, all of which are catalogued, a few additional specimens 
have been incorporated. Colonel Bingham has kindly con- 
sented to work out the Hymenoptera, together with others 
in the University Collections from the same part of the world. 
A large set of butterflies, some moths, and a few Homo- 
ptera from the forests of the Luebo district, Kassai River, 
1,345 ft., in the South-west of the Congo Free State, were 
presented by the Hon. Walter Rothschild, Ph.D., M.P. Of 
these, 255 specimens are catalogued, and many more incorpo- 
rated. The collection is of especial interest to the Department 
on account of the locality, which has been hitherto practically 
unrepresented. It was of deep interest to find that here some 
of the best-marked West Coast forms are replaced by those 
of the South and East. This is the case with Limmnas chry- 
sippus, among which not a single alcifpus form was to be 
seen, the whole of the 136 specimens being typical. Preczs 
octavia of the West Coast was also similarly replaced by 
natalensis of the South and East. Characteristic western 
forms, however, predominate. These include a fine series of 
Papilio zalmoxis, antimachus, and ridleyanus, together with 
many of the western species of Huphaedra. Examples of the 
two last-named Papilionids, together with several Acraeas, 
which they more or less resemble in colours and pattern, 
were added to the bionomic series.
