from Ceylon (1S99), was presented by E. S. Goodrich, Esq., 

 M.A., Merton College. The data are excellent and render 

 the collection of great value to the Hope Museum. Many 

 specimens showing injuries probably caused by enemies will 

 be added to the Bionomic Series. 



Eighty-two insects of various Orders, chiefly butterflies, 

 from Fiji, and 4 from Vancouver City, B.C., Canada, were 

 presented by Professor Gustave Gilson of Louvain University. 

 The specimens are of great value to the Hope Collection on 

 account of the locality. A pair of convergent Eitplocina will 

 be a welcome addition to the Bionomic Series. 



Collections of 125 Lepidoptera, chiefly butterflies from 

 various localities in Norway (1898), 20 from Eastern Carinthia 

 (1897), and ^6 from various localities in Switzerland (1899), 

 were presented by Dr. T. A. Chapman. Many of the specimens 

 are very welcome additions, especially a set of Ercbia 

 Jlavofasciata from Campolungo, Fusio ; but all are useful on 

 account of the data. 



The following numerous and valuable accessions are due to 

 the generosity of G. C. Griflfiths, Esq. : 



Fifty butterflies and one moth from Chandolin, Switzerland 

 (1899). These specimens, collected by Professor C. Blachier, 

 are in beautiful condition. 



Eighty-six insects, chiefly butterflies, from Zomba; 15 

 Lepidoptera from Sumatra ; 9 fine Papilios from the Mo-

 Bombay Presidency (1898) ; a moth from Perak ; a Pierid 

 butterfly from Tanganyika ; 2 Syntomid Moths from the

 from Japan. 



Probably the most important addition to the Hope 

 Collection of moths, since Mrs. F. W. Hope's gift of the W. W. 

 Saunders' Heterocera, is due to the generosity of Roland 

 Trimen, Esq., Hon. M.A., F.R.S., who presented the collection 

 made by Cecil N. Barker, Esq., in Natal, chiefly in the 

 neighbourhood of Durban (1887-96), The specimens, of
