Two hundred and forty-three Diptera from the neighbour- 
hood of Kuching, Sarawak, Borneo, presented by R. Shelford, 
Esq., M.A., Emmanuel College, Cambridge, were catalogued 
and added to the Collection, together with a few uncatalogued 
specimens. This valuable accession forms part of the 
splendid collection of insects of various orders captured by 
Dyak collectors and presented by Mr. R. Shelford in 1899,

ADDITIONS TO THE COLLECTIONS IN 1901. 
Sixty-five Coleoptera and 8 Rhynchota, presented by 
H. D. Acland, Esq., have been added to the Collection. 
The specimens, many of which belong to extremely fine 
species, were formerly in the possession of Sir Henry Acland, 
K.C.B., F.R.S. They are unfortunately without data.

Two hundred and eighty-five 7etrigzzae, part of the great

Ent. Soc. Lond., 1907, pp. 213-44, pl. xxi). 
An interesting series of 325 butterflies, the result of 
a single day’s collecting 8-10 miles from the Potaro River, 
on the road to the Gold Mines in British Guiana, was

leaves the river 30 miles above its confluence with the 
Fssequibo. All the specimens were captured Aug. 23, 1903,
