In the examples hitherto in the Department, coming from 
British East Africa, the black spots are distinctly larger than 
those of Mr. Byatt’s more northern specimens. Several 
specimens of a Papilionid form belonging to the wszreus 
group, and new to the collection, were included in this series, 
and one in that from Upper Sheikh. 
From the summit of the Wagar Mountain, Golis Range, 
6,0c0 ft. (July 1-2, 1906), 22 butterflies (8 catalogued and all 
incorporated). These include 11 male specimens of Pafz/to 
dardanus (merope) sub-sp. antinori, very greatly wanted by 
the Department, which is rich in other sub-species and forms 
of the same intensely interesting butterfly. It is greatly to be 
hoped that Mr. Byatt may succeed in capturing the female of 
antinorit, the “ tailed” mimetic forms of which are only repre- 
sented in European collections by two specimens, one named 
niavoides by Kheil, and mimicking Amauris niavius, the other 
named ruspina by him, and mimicking the type form of 
Limnas chrysippus. Any specimens throwing further light 
on these astonishing forms would be of the deepest interest 
to all students of insects, and especially of the problems of 
mimicry. 
Seven types of weevils of the genus Sczobius, described in 
Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1906, viz. Sczobius cinereus, cognatus, 
opalinus, barkeri, viridis, prasinus, and horni, were presented 
by the author, Guy A. K. Marshall, Esq., F.Z.S., F.E.S., 
together with five named specimens of the same genus from 
S. Africa. In the same paper, Mr. Marshall described a new 
species from the Tylden Collection in the Department, 
S. cultratus, and one from the Hope Collection, S. obesus. 
He also very kindly named the specimens of the genus in 
the University Collection. 
The following fine accessions to many parts of the general 
collections are also due to the kindness of the same generous 
donor, who has done so much for the Department during the 
past ten years :— 
Eight hundred and ninety-seven insects of many Orders, 
from the neighbourhood of Salisbury, Rhodesia, 5,000 ft.
