inasmuch as it is desirable to refer to the publication on the 

 printed labels. This valuable and very varied collection of 

 523 Insecta, Myriapoda, and Arachnida contains the types 

 or co-types of several new species (Rhopalocera, Heterocera, 

 Coleoptera, Diptera, Orthoptera and Arachnida) described by 

 distinguished specialists in the various groups in the " Proc. 

 Zool. Soc." for 1900. Mr. Peel is greatly to be congratulated 

 on the numerous additions to knowledge which have resulted 

 from his two journeys to Somaliland. 



Additions to the Collection in 1898. 



A useful set of insects of many Orders, captured in the 

 ''winter" season at Sao Paulo, S. Brazil, presented in 1898, 

 by Malcolm Burr, Esq., New College, has been catalogued 

 and incorporated since the appearance of the last Report. 



The gifts of Herbert Druce, Esq., F.L.S., and of F. A. Dixey, 

 Esq., D.M., Wadham College, still remain uncatalogued, the 

 former in order that the work may be done in association 

 with the generous later gifts, the later in the hope that further 

 information may be forthcoming. 



Additions to the Collection in 1899. 



In the Report of last year nearly 7000 specimens, received 

 in 1899, were recorded as catalogued and incorporated. Great 

 progress has been made since then, and the following acces- 

 sions are now gratefully acknowledged. 



Eighty-four butterflies and one moth from various localities 

 in the Bernese Oberland (1898) were presented by Hugh 

 Richardson, Esq. The data accompanying the specimens 

 are excellent. 



A set of 120 butterflies and one moth from Banff, Alberta, 

 Canada, and one butterfly from Rush Lake, Ass., Canada 

 (1898), were presented by H. J. Elwes, Esq., F.R.S. The 

 data accompanying the specimens are admirable.
