springs up wherever the forest is cleared. Forty-five of the 
best specimens and most unusual varieties have been cata- 
logued and permanently added to the Collection : the remainder 
are exhibited, as described in last year’s Report, in the Upper 
S. corridor of the Museum, outside the Hope Department. 
Against a wall facing N. and covered except in the after- 
noons by a blind, they will doubtless remain without any 
perceptible change in the pigments for many years. An 
account of the day’s capture will be found in the Proceedings 
of the Entomological Society of London, 1903, p. liv. 
A small collection of Coleoptera from a great variety of 
localities (Europe, Egypt, Cyprus, Brazil, N. Guinea, Australia, 
S. Africa, China, Japan, Chile) was presented by the Rev. A. 
Thornley, M.A., F.L.S. Fifty-six specimens have been cata- 
logued and many others also incorporated. Seven Cicadas 
presented by the same donor are unfortunately without data. 
They are, however, wanted in the Collection, and have been 
provisionally incorporated. 
ADDITIONS TO THE COLLECTIONS IN 1904. 
An interesting set of 325 butterflies captured near the 
Potaro River, British Guiana, by Mr. C. B. Roberts, on 
Feb. 23, 1904, compares in an instructive manner with that 
taken by him in the same locality on Aug. 23, 1903. The 
whole of the specimens are exhibited side by side with the 
great majority of those captured on the latter date. They 
were shown at the meeting of the Entomological Society of 
London on June 6, 1906 (see Proceedings of that date, where 
an analysis of the whole group is published). 
ADDITIONS TO THE COLLECTIONS IN 1905. 
An immense amount of labour has been involved in setting, 
cataloguing, incorporating, and especially in printing labels 
for the very large collection brought from South Africa, 
Mombasa, and Egypt, as a result of the visit of the British 
Association in 1905. 
Dr. G. B. Longstaff, M.A., D.M., New College, and Dr. 
F. A. Dixey, M.A., D.M., Wadham College, collected in the
