ADDITIONS TO THE BRITISH COLLECTIONS IN 1905. 
The splendid collection of nearly 7,000 British Micro- 
Lepidoptera presented by Mrs. E. C. Bazett, of Reading, have 
now received their printed labels, and have been added to the 
British cabinets. The series of specimens is one of the finest 
donations ever received by the British Collections. The 
majority were captured at no great distance from Oxford, 
in the Reading district. 
ADDITIONS TO THE COLLECTIONS IN 1906. 
A fine collection of butterflies with excellent data from 
Rabai, 14 miles N.W. of Mombasa, was presented by the 
Rev. K. St. Aubyn Rogers, M.A., F.E.S., Wadham College. 
Only a portion of the collection, including 109 specimens cap- 
tured Feb.-June, 1906, has been catalogued and incorporated. 
The Lycaenidae include many species of great interest, such 
as 1 Lpamera diametrica, new to the Hope Department ; 
1 Spindasis kallimon, H. H. Druce, recently described; 4 
Telipna rogersi, H. H. Druce, a new species discovered by 
the donor and only just described; 1 Vzrachola dariaves; 2 
Alaena picata, and 1 Pentila peucetia. Among the Nympha- 
linae, 3 Pseudacraea triment and 5 Euxanthe tiberius were 
especially valuable, and the latter hitherto unrepresented. 
Further examples of both species have since been received 
from this most generous friend to the Department, and two 
of E. téberius have been exchanged with the British Museum 
of Natural History for two of £. trajyanus, new to the Depart- 
ment. Next years Report will include a complete and 
detailed account of the fine collection of butterflies from 
Rabai and many other localities in British East Africa pre- 
sented by the Rev. K. St. Aubyn Rogers. The great labour 
of setting and printing is finished, and the final cataloguing 
and incorporation will be complete at an early date. 
A large collection of butterflies from various localities was 
presented by R. S. Standen, Esq. Of these 72 have been 
catalogued as permanent accessions, while large numbers 
have also been provisionally added to the Collection. The 
specimens from Thursday Island, Torres Strait, Fiji, Hapaii
