following localities:—Cape Town and the neighbourhood, 
including Table Mountain (early in August and again in 
October); Port Elizabeth and East London (early August 
and again at the end of September) ; various localities near 
Durban, Colenso, and Ladysmith (August); Johannesburg 
(end of August and beginning of September) ; Bloemfontein, 
Kimberley, and Bulawayo, including the Matoppos (early 
September); and the Victoria Falls of the Zambesi (September 
11-20). In addition to the above, small numbers of specimens 
were captured at many stations on the S. African railways, 
altogether constituting an important addition to the Collection. 
The records of locality and date are full and precise. The 
specimens differ, as regards locality, from those captured by 
other naturalists who accompanied the British Association, 
in the very interesting collection made at Port Elizabeth and 
East London and in the far greater number of representatives 
from the Victoria Falls. A valuable account of the localities 
and the habits of many of the species has been published 
by Dr. F. A. Dixey and Dr. G. B. Longstaff in Trans. Ent. 
Soc. Lond., 1907, pp. 309-81. A reference to this paper is 
printed on all the labels of locality and date. 
Of Dr. Longstaff’s collection no fewer than 1,314 Arthropoda, 
almost exclusively insects of various orders, have been cata- 
logued and incorporated in the general collection, together 
with large numbers provisionally added to the Museum series. 
Of Dr. F. A. Dixey’s collection 391 specimens have been 
catalogued and, together with numbers of others, incorporated. 
It is of course impossible to describe these large and valuable 
collections in any detail. The Coleoptera presented by Dr. 
Longstaff include the types and co-types of the Curculionid 
beetles Edlimenistes callosicollis and Myorrhinus longstaffi of 
G. A. K. Marshall. 
The Hymenoptera include new species of the Aculeate 
genera Halictus, Prosopis, Ceratina, and Odynerus. Dr. 
Dixey’s collection contains new species of Fossorial Aculeates 
belonging to the genera Scolia and Notogonia. Colonel C.T. 
Bingham has kindly consented to describe these new Aculeates, 
together with many other new Ethiopian species in the Uni-
