One hundred and fifty-three catalogued insects of several 
Orders, chiefly Orthoptera, in addition to a few unnumbered, 
from Umtali, S.E. Rhodesia, 3,700 ft. (Dec., 1901, and Sept., 
Oct., 1905). 
- Three Mutillidae, including a pair captured 77 coztu, from 
Bulawayo (Dec., 1903), and 3 miscellaneous insects from 
Beira, captured in 1905 by A. Sadong, Esq. 
Three Hymenoptera Aculeata from Estcourt, Natal, 4,000 ft. 
(Oct., 1902). 
Twenty-nine Coleoptera (16 catalogued) from Wynberg, 
near Cape Town (Nov., 1904). 
From the above splendid list of accessions it will at once 
appear that Mr. G. A. K. Marshall's donations in 1906 have 
been upon the same generous scale as in former years, 
A series of Lepidoptera, from Ibadan, near Lagos (Dec. 
1906), unfortunately much injured by insect pests, was pre- 
sented by H. S. Gladstone, Esq. It was only possible to 
catalogue 12 specimens. The injury was not altogether fruit- 
less ; for it was observed that in two cases the scent-gland on 
the hind wing of a male Danaine butterfly (Lzmunas chrysippus 
and Amauris egialea) had been devoured, while the rest of the 
wing was untouched. The specimens were exhibited at the 
Entomological Society of London on March 6, 1907 (see 
Proceedings for this date). 
A set of 38 butterflies and 4 dragon-flies from Aro-Chuku, 
Calabar, and from the road between Nde’ Liche and Cross 
River, Calabar (all Aug., 1906), was presented by the same 
kind donor. These too were unfortunately terribly injured 
by pests, so that it was impossible to catalogue any of them. 
This is all the more to be regretted, as many of the species 
were greatly wanted by the Department. All possible care 
and skill was devoted to repairing the specimens, and many 
have been added to the collections. The series of butterflies 
includes some beautiful examples of mimicry, which have 
been added to that special section of the collections. These 
include a fine Pseudacraea, together with two of its Planema 
models; aiso Amauris niavius, with a mimetic Eurala and
